Vegetarian cuisine for hot days.

Shimmering heat, hours of sunshine and warm nights awaken the desire for crisp salads and sparkling drinks under the parasol, aromatic vegetables from the grill and light snacks for in between meals. Anything that can be cooked in no time at all and doesn't have to simmer in the oven or simmer on the stove for long is welcome - vegetarian and vegan meals that are pleasantly filling without making you sluggish.

Agnes Prus and Yelda Yilmaz look far beyond the horizon and take inspiration from the kitchens of sun-drenched countries, where they know which ingredients and dishes are a treat at the height of summer. This cookbook celebrates seasonal splendor and provides the best recipes for hot times.
