UMMER IS FINALLY back. The farmers’ markets are bustling with vendors and buyers, and the late afternoons are hazier (and lazier) than we can remember. It’s time to take the cooking outdoors. With the temperatures finally climbing to acceptable sunning levels, it might be time to dust off the outdoor grill and start planning your first cookoff. In Steak Revolution ($32.99, amazon.ca), author Rob Firing has created a condensed compendium of how-tos and quick recipes to get your summer grilling mojo going. The Toronto-based steak
fanatic outlines the basic essentials a griller should consider when roasting up meats and vegetables, and it even has a section dedicated to buying meat. Chef and Food Network star Corbin Tomaszeski has a new cookbook and it’s his most personal project yet.

Meals are categorized by time of day and Tomaszeski does a fine job of mixing healthy cooking with Latin American and Asian influences. f

F O O D I S M R E C I P E S I N AS S OCIATION WITH AZUREAU WINES & SPIRITS Azureau Wines & Spirits is a decade-old Ontario wine agency with a bold philosophy: to convey a true sense of place in its products. “A bottle of wine should be a passport for consumers; taking them somewhere new,” says company founder Dan Rabinovitch. Ten years since its founding, Azureau has curated a portfolio of wineries that offer some of the finest expressions of their individual
regions. While the agency was founded with a focus on wines of the Mediterranean, it has since broadened its scope to include most major wine regions. Azureau has made a name for itself in recent years with a specialty in vermouths from Italy, Spain and Provence. “The world of wine is just so exciting, it’s hard to resist!” says Rabinovitch.
