For anyone who lives for summer, who waits patiently for the season's first corn and tomatoes, who fantasizes about long lazy weeks at the beach house--or lake house, or pool house--or just hanging around the backyard with a fruity cocktail and the grill ready to go, here is the pitch-perfect Summer: A Cookbook. Guided by the principle that the spirit of summer cooking is to keep things a bit loose (and the oven off when it's just too hot), here are more than 100 recipes that rely on what looks good in the markets and encourage relaxed, communal cooking: snacks like Grilled Oysters with Miso Scallion Butter; beach picnic fare like Three Thrilling Summer Rolls and Charred Corn and Cojita Salad (Esquites); and summery mains like Tamari-Ginger Swordfish, Landlubber's Lobster Roll, Project Paella, and Fish Tacos. And seriously, what could be better for dessert than Six Sensational Ice Cream Sandwiches? With its bright, colorful illustrations and philosophy of making the most of every day, Summer: A Cookbook celebrates not just eating but also the whole of warm-weather living, with tips on how to build a beach firepit, recipes for the best tiki cocktails, instructions for playing Beach Blanket Bingo and other games, summer reading recommendations, and so much more.

The Snowy Cabin Cookbook is here to make cabin or lodge cooking just as magical as the scenery outdoors and transport readers to a snow-globe world filled with Fair Isle sweaters, sled rides, and wood-burning fires.

Readers can try the Snowbound Stromboli with Arrabbiata (a grown-up version of the Hot Pocket), Brown Butter Brussels Sprouts with Parsnips and Apples alongside Brrrisket with Parsley and Pomegranate Seeds, or Roasted Kabocha Squash Soup with Bacon and Chives.

Beyond food, these endlessly creative authors offer 99 Ways to Use a Mug (think sleigh valet tip jar), a flowchart on how to find the right winter lodging for anyone, and tips on how to build a better snowperson—and when the cabin fever sets in, readers can turn to Reindeer Games for entertaining ways to pass the time. The Snowy Cabin Cookbook, fully illustrated by artist Monica Dorazewski, will leave every reader wishing for a snow day.

Take the drudgery out of the midday meal with Lunchbox - an adult's guide to creating 75 unique, healthful, and delicious lunchboxes for children ages 3 to 10. For many parents, packing or preparing a healthy and satisfying lunch for their child can be a daunting task. But with breakfast being the most routine meal and dinner often a struggle, lunchtime is an opportunity to get your little ones to explore new foods, fuel up on nutrients, and sample a range of ingredients. Each meal in Lunchbox is built around a theme meant to reinforce learning, celebrate holidays, and set children up to have a positive relationship with food. There are lunches themed to colours and shapes, like the All-Orange Lunch or the Circles and Squares Lunch; lunches featuring foods of global cuisines, like the Japanese Lunch, which includes onigiri and edamame; and fun meals that sneak in foods maybe otherwise overlooked by picky eaters. Each lunchbox is designed with the busy parent in mind, so no creation requires more effort than gathering store-bought ingredients and whipping up one basic recipe (at most!). There are opportunities to repurpose leftovers, ideas for customising any of the 50 homemade staples (such as hummus, mini muffins, and protein balls), and cost-saving and waste-saving options. Like adults, children eat with their eyes first, so every lunchbox is styled in exciting and enticing ways to encourage children to dig right in (and there are tips to get older kids involved in making their own lunch) - while annotated photographs of all 75 lunches make it easy for the parent or caregiver to re-create the visual magic. As a bonus, the book includes perforated cards so no lunch goes to school without a little note to say hi, crack a joke, or send love.

A picnic is a great escape from our day-to-day and a chance to turn a meal into something more festive and memorable.
