Verdict: This is a cookbook that will fly off the shelves of a public library display area, not only for the vibrant photos but also for the simply elegant food selections. Background: The smell of grilled corn, fragrant, sweet basil from the garden, and chilled gazpacho are some of the senses you will experience in this cookbook that blends easy entertaining with the bounty of summer produce. Rodgers (Dip It!), acclaimed author of over 30 cookbooks, selects more than 50 recipes refined to simple splendor, such as Potato Salad with Green Beans and Pesto, including an ingredient list, step-by-step directions, and photographs that will leave your mouth watering and tummy rumbling, all spread out in a modern graphic design. Other refreshing dishes include Watermelon, Tomato, and Mint Salad and an elegant but not too fussy Grilled Chicken with Rosemary White Barbecue Sauce. Rodgers even includes helpful hints on how to select the best peaches for Sour Cream Peach Pie.--Kristen Mastel, MINITEX Lib. Information Network, Minneapolis (c) Copyright 2010.
