☀️ Hot Days, Cool Ideas

When the temperature climbs, cooking can be the last thing you feel like doing. But summer also brings plenty of delicious ways to enjoy home cooking without spending hours over a hot stove 😎

Whether you're cooking in the cooler hours and enjoying it later, making the most of fresh seasonal ingredients, preparing a quick no-cook meal or taking your cooking outdoors, we'd love to see what works in your kitchen.

Maybe it's a pasta salad that tastes even better the next day, a colourful grain bowl, a chilled soup, homemade ice lollies, or a favourite barbecue recipe. Perhaps you've discovered a clever way to keep ingredients fresh for longer or avoid food waste during hot weather.

Whatever helps you keep cooking, we'd love you to share it 💪

One of the best things about Cookpad is learning from home cooks with different kitchens, routines and traditions. Your recipe or tip could be exactly what someone else needs on a hot summer's day.

Let's inspire each other with simple, delicious ideas that make summer cooking a little easier 😎 and a lot more enjoyable. ❤️
