Simple Summer: A Recipe for Joy and Connection by Chef Jonathan Bardzik

Summer is for relaxing, sharing time – and a cold drink – with good friends while brightly-flavored, farm-fresh produce does all the hard work in the kitchen. This second edition of Simple Summer collects 40 simple, delicious recipes with stories and recommendations for music and drinks for easy summer entertaining. Each recipe comes with photos and tips to get them right the first time you make them. Many of the tips come from questions asked by the audiences at my live, weekly cooking demos, like “how do I cut corn off the cob”, or “what is the right tool for cutting quesadillas” (a pizza cutter. You’ll never go back!).
