[FROM THE FORWARD] Why a summer cookbook? Why not, in planning meals suited to warmer weather, just thumb through any old general cookbook and pick whatever strikes your eye first?
Well, a Summer Cookbook is designed to save you just that sort of trouble. To make warm weather meal-planning as simple as possible. A guide that enables you quickly to find just the right menu for whaterver kind of day it is-- steaming, hot, humid-hot, raiby day-hot, or just plain blazing hot.
It's meant to save you a few other things, too. Like time and energy in meal preparation, so you won't have to go through that ordeal of "'stewing over a hot stove" on a day when you ought to be down at the beach cooling off in the ocean, making the rounds of the golf course, or lolling blissfully in a hammock on a breeze-swept porch with a best-seller. So everything in the Summer Cookbook is planned with a view to spending as little time in the kitchen as possible.
