Southern Cooking

August's Goodness from the Garden.

August offers us all kinds of fresh fruit and vegetables that make for deliciously simple meals to enjoy with friends and family.

Watermelon Gazpacho with Strawberry Relish

If I could put summer into a bowl, this would be it - the fresh, summery taste of fruit and vegetables is so savory, subtly sweet and spicy at the same time. 
Perfect on a hot summer night.

Curry Grilled Rockfish, Jicama Melon Salad, Lime Oil

This is a quick and easy meal for any day of the week. Curry gives this rockfish recipe a little kick but pairing it with the sweet melon and crunchy jicama makes it a sweet and savory meal.

Plum and Marzipan Tarte Tatin

This colorful dessert is a clever twist on classic French tarte tatin. The sugar-sweet chunks of molten marzipan harmonize beautifully with the sharp fruity plums. Add some ice cream and you have a symphony of flavors in one bite.
