Book Review: Simply Summer
Erica Lea on Jun 3rd 2009
I was asked to review this cookbook, Simply Summer: Gourmet Meals Made Deliciously Easy with Tips for Elegant Living by Angela Tunner, the Renaissance Gourmet. I readily agreed, and eagerly looked through the recipes, trying to decide on which to make.
All of the recipes I tried were delicious. They had excellent flavor, yet they were so easy to prepare. And there was no need to turn on the oven. Perfect for those steamy summer days.
The layout of the book was simple and logical. The recipes have useful notes, explaining any unfamiliar ingredients. I thoroughly enjoyed this cookbook and look forward to trying more of the recipes..
.
I was graciously allowed to feature one of the recipes from Simply Summer on Cooking for Seven. The trouble is, I can’t decide which one to share with you!
So I’ll let you decide. Please leave a comment telling me which of the following recipes you’d like to see. I’ll tally up the votes, and post the winning recipe sometime next week. No comments will be accepted for consideration after Wednesday, June 10 at 11:59 p.m. central time.
Mango & Coconut Chicken
Strawberries & Cream Soup
Bean Salad

Have fun!

They all look delicious, but I vote for the Mango & Coconut Chicken!
i second the chicken
The beans! The beans!
Strawberries and cream soup
Ohhh, I don’t know! They all look soooo good.
I guess I will go with the bean salad because that sounds really tasty right now.
I would like to see the bean salad!
Thanks!

Oh, I’d LOVE to have the recipe for the bean salad!
They all look great, but I’d pick the chicken salad!
I’d love the recipe for the mango and coconut chicken.
I’m voting for the mango & coconut chicken. It looks delish!
looks like i’m gonna lose, but i vote the soup.
Boy, what a decision! I will say the chicken. There is nothing more refreshing at summer time! Maybe you should just splurge and make the soup, too. How neat!
Please do the strawberry soup! I just came across your blog and I’m quite impressed. Keep up the good work!
*frantically looking back and forth* I can’t decide between the chicken or the soup…..
Mango & chicken please!!
Definitely the chicken dish. It looks wonderful!
