Summer Cooking
The real start of summer cuisine is not cooked at all. The tomato sandwich has no comparison. Of course, it requires a really great bread and a good spread. My favorite bread is Nova’s sesame semolina wheat bread; but I’m sure you have your own favorite. Michael Swol makes a killer Tzajiki sauce that is fantastic for tomato sandwiches or just for dipping.
His sauce has plain yoghurt, dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, sugar, fresh ground pepper and cucumber. The key to the cucumber is to peel and quarter it and remove the seeds. Aioli also makes a really great spread; but it is difficult to get the proper consistency. Of course you can add lettuce and bacon to a tomato sandwich to get a BLT.
Barbecue is also a summer favorite. There are so many ways to make it that I will just refer you to the expert. Go to the expert at http://carolinasmokehouse.blogspot.com/ Chris is a cook (he says he is not a chef) at one of the top restaurants in Charlotte. He is not allowed to say the name; so I won’t either. He does have some really great stuff on his website. Check it out.
