Because these long, hot days are not ideal for standing in front of a sweltering stove, The Complete Summer Cookbook is chock-full of recipes that can be made with minimal cooking. These delicious dishes can be whipped up via a quick toss in a pan, a low- maintenance simmer in a slow cooker, an outdoor grill, or with no heat at all. Including mouthwatering spreads like prosciutto-wrapped figs with gorgonzola, smoked salmon niçoise salad, grilled scallops with chile-lime vinaigrette, hibiscus-guava agua fresca, peach-strawberry frosé, and honey-glazed peaches with hazelnuts, the recipes in these pages are divine summertime fare. Bon appétit!
