Late last night, as I was waiting for a galette to come out of the oven to take to friends for dinner tonight – Happy 4th of July!! – I started thinking about our favorite summer recipes. To celebrate special occasions or just enjoy al fresco whenever possible.
Happy to share this space with a small round up of some of our favorite recipes during the hot Summer months.
Grilled Shrimp Skewers With Feta Dill Sauce from Food & Wine Magazine.
Mama’s BBQ Chicken and Watercress, Walnut, Roquefort Salad (bottom left corner) from Virginia Willis' Basic To Brlliant Y’all (Ten Speed Press).
An ultra simple but nonetheless belly-good classic burger…
Shaved Fennel Salad, From Heidi Swanson’s Supernatural Everyday.
Thai Turkey Burgers, from Food & Wine Magazine.
Blueberries and Cream Layer Cake…or what’s left of it if you make it…!
Mixed Berries Sorbet….So so refreshing!
Happy Independence Day!

Ooh, the fig tabouleh looks amazing and right on time – I have a basked of figs that I was just wondering what to do with…

What a gorgeous well-rounded round up! Meat, veggies, gluten free, fat free, sweet tooth… and beautiful photos. I'm an avid quinoa eater- today with lime, cilantro, peppers and grilled shrimp (thx to your photo here). Next quinoa salad will be sporting figs and mint. Can't say I would have thought of that one on my own…Happy 4th.

It's a cold Wintery day here, but I'm still wondering which of your Summer favourites I should try first. They all look so bright and packed with flavour.
