Berry recipes tend to veer towards the dessert end of things, but their juicy, sweet-and-tart nature can brighten up a whole world of savoury. If you find your CSA basket runneth over with one particular type of berry - and just don't feel like turning on the oven for a pie or cobbler - consider making a fresh and fruity berry salsa.

There are many ways to enjoy the sweet treat that is corn, but did you know that you don't even need to cook it? It's true. Fresh, sweet corn tastes fantastic right off of the cob, no heat required.

You guys know I love a shiny new kitchen appliance, but it just doesn't make sense to purchase a Juicero. I love fresh juice as much as the next person who drinks it to feel slightly better about her life choices, but a $US400 ($536) juice squeezer just isn't in the cards.

Due to laziness and a strong desire to not turn on any sort of heat source during the summer, I have become a huge fan of dishes that can be prepared without any actual cooking. Perhaps that's why I'm so enamoured with the idea of aguachile, in which super-fresh seafood is "cooked" in a spicy, citrus-y chilli water.
