Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Wherever you are, summer is a time to savor longer days and lazy weekends. Fresh produce abounds, and life moves at a more relaxed pace. Anna Pump, proprietor of the iconic LoavesandFishes store on Long Island, has catered to a devoted clientele of Hamptons weekenders for more than twenty-five years and understands summer's rhythms. She knows that while you may want to enjoy a picnic on the beach or a late supper on the porch, you don't want to spend the entire day in the kitchen, painstakingly preparing elaborate dishes. In Summer on a Plate she shares more than 120 recipes for delicious, no-fuss, memorable meals that celebrate the bounty of summer. Anna never confuses simple with ordinary. A distinctive first course of Avocado Mousse and Shrimp on Tortilla Chips comes together in a flash. Chilled Tomato and Cucumber Soup with Seasoned Croutons makes a light and refreshing midday meal, and Spicy Corn Fritters with Salmon Caviar Dip are just the thing to set out for your weekend guests when a sunny Saturday on the beach turns into breezy evening on the deck. Many dishes can go straight from the grill to the table, like Grilled Tenderloin of Beef with Fresh Herb Sauce or Perfect Whole Grilled Chicken with Plum Chutney. In the mood for seafood? Halibut Baked with Olives, Lemons, and Fresh Basil is a snap to prepare and full of fresh flavors. And what would summer be without salads? Serve Black Mission Figs with Goat Cheese and Upland Cress to begin a dinner party, while the Magret of Duck and Wild Rice Salad or the Asian-Flavor Beef, Pepper, and Spinach Salad are meals in themselves. If your favorite part of the meal is dessert (like Anna!) you won't be disappointed. Chocolate Chunk Orange Cake is a sweet ending to any meal (or even a sweet breakfast) and is just as satisfying with a cup of midafternoon coffee. Rhubarb Blueberry Pie or a Peach Tart with Almond Topping and a Cookie Crust take advantage of the best of summer fruits. The Coconut Lemon Layer Cake is a showstopper, or you can opt for a simple dish of dead-ripe berries lavished with a dollop of Crème Fraîche. Put summer on your plate and enjoy everything the season has to offer. Review:"Like Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa, Pump's Hampton's gourmet food store and catering business, Loaves and Fishes, took on a second life in cookbooks (previous cookbooks include Loaves and Fishes Cookbook and Country Weekend Entertaining). The German-born caterer first tells the story of how she came to buy the Loaves and Fishes store 25 years ago before embarking on this well-organized collection of clear and simple recipes. With personal head notes — useful and not overly chatty — the author explains the many ways to entertain or cook for your friends and family. Starters such as clam and bacon dip can get a party off with a bang, while fresh corn soup with local corn is a pure taste of summer. Pump also suggests innovative sandwiches that can be brought to the beach, like Grilled Eggplant, Pepper and Soppressata Sandwiches. She also includes alternatives for inclement weather, such as oven-fried chicken that can be prepared in the kitchen. This is a cookbook that expresses the irrepressible joy of summer. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Review:"We look forward to the arrival of spring because it means, after a long winter, that LoavesandFishes will soon reopen. What a treat it is, in the meanwhile, to have our most delicious recipes in this wonderful book." — Jo Carole and Ronald S. Lauder Review:"Every one of Anna's recipes is a showstopper! I couldn't wait to see this book all summer long while I was feasting on the food from LoavesandFishes. You'll love it as much as I do." — Sheila Lukins, coauthor, The Silver Palate Cookbooks, and food editor at Parade Magazine Synopsis:Pump, chef and owner of the Hamptons' celebrated specialty food store Loaves and Fishes, brings home cooks quick, simple yet elegant recipes that celebrate summer's bounty. 8 pages of full-color photographs.
