"Summer food is the very best food, there, I said it. It’s fresh and it’s light and don’t even get me started about the veritable bounty of produce you have at your fingertips, just waiting to be eaten. And, while I like to cook all year round, there’s something especially exciting about cooking when there are so many good ingredients available. It’s the best time to break out the grill, try new ingredients, and make the most of all that summer has to offer. Here are 27 summer recipes that will all but ensure the tastiest season ever.
