It's still summer and food blogs are making the most of it with fresh berries, tomatoes, and herbs showing up in new and creative ways.
The omnivores at The Omnivore's Solution are dealing well with summer, stuffing a new breed of hollow tomatoes and creating Lemon Verbena Lavender Ecstasy Ice Cream.

When food bloogers get together for a picnic, this is what you get: beautiful food and lots of photographs. Jeanne at Cook Sister hosted a food blogger picnic with some delicious looking food. She also recently made Roasted Nectarines in Prosciutto.
The Cupcake Queen at 52 Cupcakes is still up to her whimsical baking with these fondant-wrapped dice and Black Raspberry Lime Cupcakes.
If you read just one weblog on Indian cooking, Mahanandi would have to be it. Quietly helpful, beautiful and educational, this blog will lead you through all the basics of Indian vegetarian cooking. Currently she is making Chard with Masoor Dal and kobbari kaaram, a spice mix of coconut, chilies, and curry leaves.
Wild! Hollow tomatoes. Would be good stuffed with tuna salad.
One of my mentors has a huge garden and brought some peach tomatoes to taste. These were new to me. A medium/small tomato the color of peach with the fuzzy skin of a peach. White currant tomatoes as well.
Thanks to my AT flowerbox award of heirloom nasturtium seeds I have been introduced to a new and delicious plant to cook with! Leaves and flowers for salad and for cooking and seeds for pickling. I just have leaves right now but will be trying the other parts when they appear.
