We spend quite a bit of time online, buzzing here and there among the food blogs, picking up things that look particularly delicious and inspiring. This is one of the times in the year when tastes are shifting from one season to another, spring to summer, fresh green to vibrant color. So we're curious, as you're hunting about for delicious and beautiful things to cook this summer, what's the most delicious thing you've seen lately?
What's the Most Delicious Thing You've Seen (Lately)?
A few recent favorites, pictured above:
• Flo Braker's Pain d'amande Cookies, a guest post at David Leibovitz's weblog. We are suckers for fragile, crispy cookies like these. There's something so plain and simple about a delicate cookie, yet elegant and irresistible too. These are supposed to be honeyed, toasty, and crispy.
• Strawberry Panna Cotta with Strawberry Compote at Epicurious. With the weather unseasonably hot and muggy, anything cool and creamy sounds wonderful. We feel like we could eat this for every meal right now.
• Badass Beet Salad! from Boots In the Oven, a fabulous and new (to us) blog. This stunning salad satisfies every craving for color and texture we have right now, in the gateway to summer.
What's inspiring you right now? What's on your to-cook list of delicious things? Tell us; we want to go and look at every one of your suggestions.

I'm a sucker for a lip-smack inducing picture of food.

Barbecued chicken, ribs, leg of lamb and -- best of all -- salmon, the former three slathered with a sauce homemade by Jamie Oliver on his "Jamie at Home" Food Network show. The fish got a quilt-like coating of finely chopped fennel fronds, the skin was crisped over hot coals. It was 8 a.m., and I was drooling.

My go-to site right now for gorgeous food photography and recipes is Have cake, will travel. Celine shares wonderful vegan recipes that make even non-vegan mouths (like mine!) water. Check out her Flickr photostream too. Just stunning.

Thanks so much for linking to us - totally august company, too! We're in this great in-between season here in Texas. Beets are jostling with summer squash and onions, and any minute now the peppers will be getting nice and hot...
This crab and orange verrine recipe from the French Fork, another Austin blogger, makes me want to run to the store for some crab. It looks completely delicious for our hot hot days to come: http://frenchfork.blogspot.com/2009/05/crab-and-orange-summer-duo.html

The apples forming on my garden's apple tree, the anticipation alone is delicious, I cannot wait for this year's cider and apple tarts.
Also anything in the case at Tartine:

but especially their banana cream tarts that remind me of the banoffee pie I loved so much in London. Here's a link to the recipe:

I prefer the small 4" tarts because then I don't have to share my dessert!

Is it against the rules to say the croissants I made recently? I was so proud! I'd never made croissants before, and they came out so, so, so well. Hooray for me!
