Summertime, and the cooking is easy...very easy for me, since I am spending my vacation with my parents and enjoying my mother's delicious home cooking!
I have made a few recipes from my brand new cookbook, but some technical photo problems are preventing me from sharing them for the moment. I hope I can get that worked out by August!
Thank heavens I can count on Katie, who provided me with most of the links for this month's MMMI. In fact, I really can't say enough about Katie and her fantastic blog Thyme for Cooking. She is one of the most devoted food bloggers out there, and her food actually looks like it comes from a mortal's kitchen.
She also provides a recipe service that I am tempted to try out next school year.
Carry on, Katie, and thanks for your links!
This month, I'm just providing a few simple ideas for your mid-month inspiration:
THREE SIMPLE SUPPERS:
1. Sandwiches are great summer fare, and I must admit I'm enjoying the many scrumptious varieties dished up here in the States. How about trying one without bread? -- Eggplant and Goat Cheese Sandwiches with Tomato Tarragon Sauce from Sher of What Did You Eat?
2. Katie at Thyme for Cooking is great at getting double mileage, or kilometrage, out of her meals. Her Brown Rice Pilaf and Salad starts off as "just" Brown Rice Pilaf, giving you two dinners from one.
3. In the "it came out of a real kitchen" department, I liked the looks of Gnocchi with Zucchini and Prosciutto from A Taste of Tina.
SUMMERY SWEET:
For me, nothing beats clafouti. I make all types from the cookbook Les Clafoutis de Christophe. Plum Clafouti from Ceres and Bacchus sounds especially pleasing for a summer sweet.
SUMMER SIPPING:
If the heat is on, cool down with Lemon Mint Iced Tea from Coffee and Cornbread.
Enjoy summer and all the good food that comes with it!
