Cooking Club: Eight summer-favourite corn recipes
Summer corn pasta salad
When we think “summer” around the Chatelaine Kitchen, certainly we think about strawberries and cherries, blueberries and raspberries, peaches and plums… gaaaa, I’m getting hungry…but more than anything else we think of fresh-from-the-husk summertime sweet corn. Hot, crunchy, dripping, boiled or charred, slathered or chopped; we can literally eat half a dozen cobs at one sitting.
Click through the recipe gallery, pick a fave, cook it up and then click a pic before you crunch and munch.
We want to see what you’ve made! Before you shut off the stove or close the ‘Q, show us what you’ve got!
And check out the best reader photos from last weeks' very-berry galette challenge!
