One of summer's greatest pleasures is cooking outside over an open flame. Rather than centering meals on a big hunk o' meat, freshen up the grilling season by prioritizing garden-picked produce.

Seasonal fruits and vegetables benefit immensely from direct heat because the natural sugars caramelize into deep-sweet succulence, while fibrous picks like plantains and mushrooms mellow and soften. Get 'em while they're hot!
