Summer Flavours

Description

Fresh local fiddleheads and asparagus signal the beginning of a new season of fresh and delicious summer produce. In their new cookbook, Elaine Elliot and Virginia Lee celebrate the flavours of summer--refreshing salads, fresh berry desserts, cold soups, picnic food and barbecue fare.

Summer Flavours celebrates the season with a range of traditional and innovative recipes offering a full gastronomic experience. Enjoy Lobster and Roasted Red Pepper on Sunflower Bread, Tomato and Basil Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette, Fresh Steamed Fiddleheads, Sesame-Crusted Atlantic Salmon with Cider Glaze, Fresh Cherry Clafouti, and dozens of others.

Many of the recipes are creations of chefs at Atlantic Canada's finest inns and restaurants, others come from the authors' own kitchens. All are adapted for home use and fully tested. Best of all, this new cookbook has dozens of photographs illustrating the dishes and the exciting colours of the season.

For cooks looking for new ideas that celebrate summer's bounty and seasonal tastes, Summer Flavours is an ideal cookbook.
