As days get longer and hotter, our cravings gravitate more and more around one juicy, golden fruit. Yes, peaches may be the official state fruit of Georgia, but they're basically the unofficial fruit of the summer.

We're often willing to shell out a little more on fish when we go out to eat. It's pricey enough in the supermarkets, and maybe we don't have the right kitchen equipment — or confidence — to tackle cooking a delicate fish.
