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

[Susan Fox]

I'm making pickles.  Garlic dills, in a kim chee jug.  It's on my 
kitchen counter and it's a good thing I live alone;  any less of a 
garlic-lover in a family of same really would need to go bury it someplace.

Recipe here:  
http://www.wildfermentation.com/resources.php?page=pickles  No primary 
documentation, but all the ingredients are certainly ancient.

Here in Northern Artemisia, it's definitely the former and not the latter! We're breaking heat records right and left--I suppose I should be grateful it's a dry heat, huh?

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.?
