The too hot to cook book

"Menus and tips for women who want to serve easily-prepared yet distinctive meals during the hot months. The emphasis is on salads, ready-to-eat-foods, in-season vegetables and herbs, and stove-top cookery. There is information on relatively carefree menu planning for weekend guests; tips on spur-of-the-moment entertaining, and some wise words on stocking a summer cupboard."--From front flap of dust jacket.
