Here are a few recipes that will pique hot-weather appetites and not melt the cook too much either. In Japan, cold soba noodles are a summertime standard. In this recipe for [Cold Soba Noodle Salad]( the same principles apply with bright, complex flavors in a cooling presentation. With a little extra wasabi, you can zip up that spicy heat that feels so good, while the buckwheat noodles add some comforting carbs that won’t weigh you down. For an almost no-cook meal that’s satisfying and delicious, I love our recipe for [Light Chinese Chicken Salad with Hoisin Vinaigrette](. Full of crisp, cool napa cabbage; sweet carrots; and red bell pepper and dressed with a super-flavorful combination of rice wine vinegar, ginger, and a bit of hoisin for sweetness, this salad is as easy as it is good. While the chicken is cooked in about 10 minutes, you could buy a rotisserie chicken if you can’t bear to turn on the stove. Nobody will tell. Corn and tomatoes are in high season, so take advantage of this with a simple, gorgeous recipe for [Corn Ricotta Toast with Pickled Corn and Cherry Tomatoes](. I personally love any excuse to eat a big slab of toast, and this means I can have it for lunch or dinner and not just breakfast. Just buy a beautiful artisan loaf and pop slices in the toaster, bring the simple pickled corn topping to a boil and let it steep, and then throw it all together. It looks beautiful and tastes like summer. For dessert, who wants to turn on the oven and bake? Try our [no-churn ice cream]( in a lovely old-fashioned summertime flavor such as [strawberry-buttermilk](. If you own a blender, like [our midpriced favorite by Breville]( you can (literally) whip it together in a few minutes, smooth the mixture into a loaf pan, such as our favorite from [USA Pans]( and freeze. Be sure to leave at least six hours for it to firm up in the freezer. Grab some [ice cream cones]( and a good, sturdy [ice cream scoop]( and make everyone happy—while staying wonderfully cool.
