Bon Appetit Best of Summer Cooking: 50 Rules and Recipes to Help You Savor the Tastiest of Seasons

For food lovers, summer is high season. And to celebrate, the editors of Bon Appétit have compiled 50 rules and recipes for summer cooking. Call it a manifesto if you like, but this hardly scientific, thoroughly opinionated guide to the season’s eating and drinking is a road map of philosophy (be lazy!), admonitions (avoid the oven!), and practical advice (buy a charcoal grill, already!). The recipes are designed for those who wait all year for summer. Classic dishes like Panzanella and Mixed Berry Cobbler share space with new faves like Grilled Pizza and Cucumber Agua Fresca. All perfectly embody these days when the greenmarkets are exploding with produce and when we can stand next to a hot grill, cold drink in hand, and feel that all is right with the world.

Highlights include:
- The perfect Salt and Pepper Rib-Eye steak
- A sweet and savory Zucchini Cornbread
- A Rosé Sangria to drink all summer long
