who wants to turn on an oven in the summer? NOT ME.

Don't like to cook? Well do I have the cookbook for you! Just kidding, it's The No-Cook, No-Bake Cookbook: 101 Delicious Recipes for When it's Too Hot to Cook by Matt Kadey, which still requires the preparing aspect of cooking, just no ovens. Pretty much designed for you disenfranchised people with no central air.

There are literally 101 oven-free meals in this collection. including Breakfast and Brunch, Starters and Sides, Main Dishes, and Desserts, also featuring more than 80 beautiful photographs. Keep in mind that t’s not all salads and sandwiches, either, there are soups, pasta dishes, and pizza recipes. Kadey even has an overnight oats recipe that does not require you to cook the steel-cut oats, because you know ain't nobody got time for that in the morning. And let me tell you something about the Shrimp and Noodles with Sweet and Sour Sauce made with rice noodles on page 72, a MUST.  As a chick who recently became the lady of her own house, I believe this collection kicks ass, and I do have AC.
