Customer Reviews
My problem with most summer cookbooks is that they assume a grill at your cabin, and lots of time to spend on dinner prep, presumably chatting with your houseguests over cocktails while the grill chef works away. This cookbook, on the contrary, delivers what I want in summer cooking -- no long shopping lists, no elaborate prep work, just dishes that come together with great flavors and simple techniques in an ordinary kitchen. (Although there is a good selection of "on the grill" recipes too.) The photography is beautiful, and you can see what you're about to cook, without so much of it that it turns the book into what I call a "kitchen brick." Even living in a big city, some cookbooks call for ingredients that would have me chasing all over town, but I haven't yet found any recipe that can't be managed with a trip to Whole Foods (or equivalent). Still working my way through the recipes, but almost worth the price of the book: the chicken breasts stuffed with prosciutto, basil and halloumi. They are a huge hit in my house with grown-ups and teens, and it's almost embarrassing how easy they are. Also two very good, simple shrimp dishes that have some unique elements and don't seem to create any leftovers!
