Our recipes may cause hunger!
Summer recipes in New Orleans mean never turning on the oven when it’s already 95 degrees outside! That’s how I discovered the magic of no-bake desserts and grilled dinners.
These dishes keep your kitchen cool while still feeding everyone well. Cold soups that refresh instead of weigh you down. Salads that taste even better the next day.
My kids love summer cooking because they can help without me worrying about hot ovens. Plus everything tastes lighter and brighter with fresh seasonal ingredients.
Most of these summer recipes travel well too – perfect for picnics, potlucks, and those impromptu gatherings when the weather’s nice.
