SUMMER may not be the best time to cook, but it’s certainly among the best times to eat. Toss watermelon and peaches with some ingredients you have lying around already, and you can produce a salad that’s delicious, unusual, fast and perfectly seasonal.

All manner of salads large and small. Dressing recipes too.

Not great; used 61% chocolate chips; omitted the chile powder and the cinnamon made it taste off; also cut back on sugar; simple to make but would omit cinnamon entirely next time

MANY DRESSINGS.

great as written but do not need that much butter on the bottom

# 4 tablespoons butter, olive oil, lard or bacon drippings # 1 1/2 cups medium-grind cornmeal # 1/2 cup all-purpose flour # 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder # 1 teaspoon salt # 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar # 2 eggs # 1 1/4 cups milk, more if needed

Used ~1 T bacon fat in pan; 2-3 T sugar, 2 eggs, 1 c thawed frozen corn. Pretty good. The bacon flavor was good - could have used more. Could also have been a bit sweeter, for me. Audrey didn't like the corn kernels, but Gautam did.

Grilling recipes.

THERE, in all of their Fourth of July glory, are 101 grilling ideas begging to be tried. A vast majority take less time to prepare and grill than it takes to watch your coals turn white. (If you use gas, they’re still almost as fast as heating up the grill.) Some of them feature ingredients like corn, eggplant and tomatoes, which will be better a month from now, at least in the Northeast. But there are also suggestions for foods in season right now that not everybody thinks of putting on the grill. Please note that salt and pepper are (usually) understood.
