Summer Food & Road Trips

Elizabeth David says of summer cooking, “As I understand it, summer cooking means the extraction of maximum enjoyment out of the produce which grows in the summer season and is appropriate to it.”  She also mentions being able procure a Cornish lobster, or two, along the way. I have been in Maine for two weeks and have procured more than my fair share of the delicious lobsters that are available here. I have also been  fortunate enough to have two friends with the most stylish table settings and a garden full of fresh herbs and vegetables, from which I could extract, as Elizabeth says, the maximum enjoyment of the season.
