Summer Recipes

I always know when the summer fruit comes in season because my farmers market gets crowded with people clamoring for peaches and plums. Other favorites include tomatoes, basil, cucumber, and corn. It's the time of year to keep the heat out of the kitchen and enjoy salads, picnics, and barbecues. Favorite summer dishes include Thai Chicken Salad with Peaches, Grilled Arayes (stuffed meat pitas), and Jerusalem Salad with tomatoes and cucumbers.
