The Big Summer Cookbook: 300 Fresh, Flavorful Recipes for Those Lazy, Hazy Days
The simple, versatile recipes in The Big Summer Cookbook range from classic American summertime staples to creative takes on the season’s best produce–whether you’re hosting a big outdoor party or an intimate dinner on the porch, serving brunch to summer house guests or packing lunch for the beach or lake.
Cooks&Books&Recipes {Dee} on The Big Summer Cookbook:
This is a must-have resource for summer cooking and entertaining. Along with the standard cookbook menu-category chapters are chapters on Homemade Summer Staples (so that you can bypass processed salad dressings, sauces, and marinades), Menus (a chapter that should be a part of every cookbook, IMHO), and Farmers Market Picks (a very helpful reference starting with five types of apples and ending with six types of tomatoes). In addition, all the recipes in The Big Summer Cookbook are also categorized and listed by icons (e.g., “make ahead” and “no cook”) and by summer spotlight ingredient (e.g., corn, cucumber). For summer, this cookbook has you covered!
Ready to chill out with a delicious recipe from this book? We suggest a bowl of Cold Avocado Cucumber Soup.
