More of a beach living cookbook than seasonal summer recipes; has illustrations instead of photos.

I received this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really love how this book is laid out and clean with not too much stuff thrown in all at once. There's way more in this book than just beach recipes, so don't be fooled! It's full of fun and helpful tips for all beach and summer adventures.

In the coldness of winter I requested a copy of Summer: A Cookbook from NetGalley. I decided that I would share my thoughts on this book with everyone, if not just to clarify what this book is about. It was my impression from the description that I was going to be learning a lot of great recipes that I could make in the summer without heating up the entire house with my oven. While this book does recipes of this nature they are not the every-day recipes that I was hoping for. Recipes for whole gilled branzino and spare ribs aren't going to be on the menu at my house this summer. The desserts were, by far, the recipes of most interest to me, especially the key lime pie with saltine crust.

However, I do think that if you have a beach house and do a lot of entertaining during the warmer months then definitely peruse this title. If you can pull off the recipes in this books your friends will be very impressed.
