August is here and another summer has flown by. But summer's not over yet! You still have ample time to indulge in all the wonders of summer cooking. From the bounty of vegetables at the farmer's market -- hello,
zucchini and
eggplant -- to the fresh herbs -- we're looking at you,
basil -- to the sweet summer
fruits and
berries, there is no shortage of wonderful produce. The summer heat also gives you full license to indulge in all the
ice cream you want (we certainly
haven't been holding back), including
ice cream sandwiches,
ice cream cakes and straight-up amazing
homemade ice cream. And
summer desserts don't stop at ice cream. We're thinking specifically of
pie and
key lime, not necessarily together either.
Of course, summer also means grilling season, which means
barbecue,
barbecue sides, and more
barbecue. With fall already in sight, now is the time to seize summer and all its glorious culinary gifts, and start cooking. We've rounded up some of our favorite summer recipes to keep you more than occupied for the next month or so. When the season starts to turn, hang on tight and remember that the summer's end brings some of its best-tasting produce (yes, we're thinking primarily of
tomatoes).
Here are 51 dishes to make before the summer ends. Trust us, you're going to want to try each one.
