As a way to remedy some of these shortcomings this summer, we invited a few close friends over for a small cookout. I cooked a rack of lamb from the American Lamb Board and drizzled it with toum (the delicious garlic lemon sauce served in the Middle East) and threw together a very quick salad of couscous and summer produce. My friends brought dessert and appetizers. A rack of lamb looks fancy but is very easy to prepare....

You’re not standing over the stove and cooking French toast for the whole family. Instead, you’re layering bread and egg in a pan and baking it.
