I can hardly believe it, but here we are in barbecue season, beach-picnic season, salad-for-dinner season – summer, my favourite time of year to cook. Some people prefer autumn for its crispness; winter for its cosiness; spring for its promise of something green. Not me. I am here for summer.
Proof that this is one of my favourite subjects: yesterday, I was a guest on a radio show talking summer cooking and having a ball. We discussed fried chicken biscuits with hot honey butter at length (other recipes that came up: gazpacho, chilled corn soup, egg salad, lemon potato salad with mint, blueberry pie and caprese antipasto – AKA the super caprese).
