[Sca-cooks] Foods for hot weather....

[Stefan li Rous]

Maire asked:
<<< At any rate, when it gets *this* freaking hot, the last thing I  
find myself wanting to do is heat up the kitchen, so I got to  
thinking about summer foods, which led, of course, to me thinking  
about *historical* summer foods. Now, I can think of a couple of  
specific-to-a-season recipes in the Anonymous Andalusian cookbook,  
but I wondered if anyone's come across similar recipes in other  
cultures--foods to promote cooler humors, or summer foods, etc.? >>>

Perhaps this file might give you some ideas?

<<< I'd like to have a small collection of them for my own use, and I  
think they'd make a neat article for my local newsletter....>>>

If you do write such an article, you might want to consider sending  
me a copy for considering adding to the Florilegium. If needed, I can  
hold off publishing it for a while after it is published in your  
local newsletter.
