Summertime cooking (or lack thereof)
Getting hotter by the day here, and I hear Qld is already steaming. Time to dig out favorite easy recipes and meal ideas that get us out of a hot kitchen and take advantage of all the great summer veg & fruit coming into season.
My summer meals all seem to be slightly mediterranian (agggh. tried 3 times to spell that and give up!). Lots of souvlaki and skewered veg on the bbq, greek salad, potato salad (no mayonaisse  ) Pasta tossed simply with lemon, olive oil, cheese and maybe fresh basil. Yum. And of course, 101 ways to use a supermarket roast chook - my favorite being chicken caesar salad. In place of a pizza oven a friend of mine used to make pizza on her bbq, in a cast iron skillet and with the hood down. What are all your favorites?

I am pretty useless at summer cooking generally being more used to cold weather cuisine. The one salad I do make that is really nice is a pumpkin and chick pea salad with a lovely garlicky sundried tomato dressing with loads of coriander.

Chicken and mango salad is always a favourite in this house - and when there is no mango around, roast pumpkin cubes. I put in baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, toasted pinenuts, mango cubes and chicken breast then make a dressing of honey, mustard and lemon juice - mmm mmm mmm......
and the barbie gets a work out at our place too - lots of asian dressings, coriander and chilli.

 My mother would love that I bet. Are they regular brown cooking onions or sweet (purple) ones? What do you dress it with?
