Summer Recipes
Summer is the most yang of all the seasons; it is a time of expansion, creativity, growth, and outward activities. To be in harmony with the environment of summer, play and travel more frequently, awaken earlier in the morning and go to bed a little later in the evening. Use as many brightly colored fruits and vegetables as possible in your cooking, taking advantage of the great variety of foods available at your local farmer's market. Reserve the coolest of foods, such as raw sprouts, cucumber, raw tofu, and melons, for only the hottest days of summer.
