Summertime and Susan Branch

I can't think about celebrating summer without pulling out my favorite summer cookbook.

I just love this book - to look at, to cook from and to escape in my mind back to simpler times when summer was about vacation, starry nights with fireflies, gardening, flowers and sandwiches.   

My former neighbor and dear friend, Judy, and I have a very special bond because of this book.  When we were neighbors every summer we would schedule a night for a cookout and Skip and Go Nakeds!  
The guys always wanted to share our pink drinks!!!  

If you haven't seen this cookbook, you might enjoy having a look.

    I don't know that book, but it certainly has a whimsical cover - I'd be tempted if I saw it in the bookstore.
    I think you need to give us the recipe for that risqué drink!

    I love cookbooks but did pare them down last year! I just won my first (maybe only) BLOG AWARD. I am to share it with 15 people and I chose you as I really enjoy your blog. Please don't feel you have to participate, however, because as I understand it some bloggers don't like to deal with awards. I felt I needed to try it at least once since someone was kind enough to visit my blog and share with me. See my blog to better understand.
