Welcome to the August issue of Seasoned Cooking. If steak makes you drool, but you just don't know how to make the perfect one, have no fear. This month, we're featuring a special article on just how to make that ideal steak. From choosing a good cut of beef to making sure the grill - if that's what you're using - is just right, we've got you covered. And to serve alongside, there are another couple of great feature articles to help you along. First, a couple of fantastic salad recipes that are ideal for serving alongside a juicy steak are offered to you. But if you are looking for a light and summery first course, consider learning more about ceviche in the feature devoted to that subject.
August is also the month of bountiful produce. Gardens everywhere are bursting with ripe fruits, vegetables and herbs and kitchen chefs everywhere are thrilled. Whether you are looking for ways to use the sometimes confounding kohlrabi - check out the Ingredient SpotLight - or wanting to try your hand at slow-roasting tomatoes - look no further than the Kitchen Focus - we've got you covered. Also take a moment to visit the Seasoned Opinions column to share your favorite garden finds with the Seasoned Cooking community. And if all that's not enough, make sure you find the ultimate in sweet treats by visiting the Happy Endings column for an absolutely delicious peach cobbler. An old fashioned recipe places slices of this delicious fruit that have been kissed by cinnamon and sugar over a rich batter that rises up to hug the fruit as it bakes. Serve yours with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you'll understand why summer is such a fantastic time of the year.
