To me, nothing says summer like enjoying a lobster roll at my favorite spots in the Hamptons.
There is a unique freshness when eating buckwheat noodles cold with plenty of herbs and citrus acidity. I can't think of any better use of chopsticks on a hot and sweaty evening.
I love Greek food in the summer.
For me, summer hasn't really started until tomatoes reappear in local farmers' markets.
I had my first bowl of gazpacho when I was fifteen in Spain, and the impression it made was a lasting one.
I'm from Manchester, Mass., so it was lobster, lobster and more lobster! Also, lots of fish that we caught in the summers, clam chowder and roast beef sandwiches. But my mom was pretty healthy; we had a lot of chicken and broccoli and rice as well.
When summer squash is freshly picked, all it needs is a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and maybe a hit of lemon juice.
My ice is so cold, it should come on a cone.
Jicama, which is one of my favorite things in the summer, looks like a really horrendous root vegetable, which it is - it's like a hybrid of a potato and an apple, but you can eat it raw.
I love roast chicken, juicy summer tomatoes, and carrot cake slathered with tangy cream-cheese frosting.
Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.
My favorite southern dish has to be fried chicken. I love to cook it. I love to have it in the summer.
