A trio of summertime eats

Margaret Dickenson

egardless of all that is happening around us, summer is the time to celebrate the outdoors — barbecuing, al fresco dining and savouring the 70

flavours of the season. If you are in search of some easy inspiration, consider my Extraordinary Roast Beef Bites, where mini popover shells prove to be the perfect base upon which to build scrumptious hors d’oeuvres. Although the popovers may be prepared well in advance, they actually can be made in a matter of minutes and are at their best when presented within a couple of hours of baking. To add a touch of pizzazz to my Tantalizing Crispy Chicken Wings, I frequently serve them for a casual evening dinner either al fresco on the patio or in the dining room,

but always enhanced by the soft glow of candles. The Extra Light Waffles — a popular choice for a special breakfast — also deserve recognition as a dessert with unquestionable appeal, particularly when enticingly topped with fresh summer fruit, decadent crème fraîche and maple syrup. Bon Appetit! Extra Light Waffles with Summer Fruits
