Great Summertime Book

This book is great for those hot summer days when you don't want to use the stove/oven. The only "cooking" you will have to do is on a few recipes: boil water or melt butter/chocolate. There are many beautiful full-color photos and the recipes are for the most part, very simple and delicious. One drawback is that the recipes sometimes call for items which I don't usually carry in my cupboard: capers, preserved lemons, harissa paste (what is this?). But I have been able to either leave the unusual items out or substitute, with good results. Just be aware that this is more of a "gourmet" book than you might have assumed. I have not tried the desserts, although they sound delicious, as they seem rather time-consuming and a few of them use raw eggs. All in all, I am very pleased with this book and enjoy the refreshing, delicious recipes.
