All of these recipes are inspired by hot weather and outdoor lounging followed by a casual dinner. I have made them all, so they are tried and true, and as I have often said, planning a dinner party is both work and fun. The dessert can be made with your guests sitting around your kitchen island with a cup of coffee to end the evening.
