Summer - perfect for saucing, grilling, sauteing

You can get quite creative in sauces with a mix and match of some basic ingredients -- tomatoes, shredded raw or sauteed garlic and onions, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, some tart fruits, certain ripe fruits like mango or pineapple, cilantro, olive oil, buttermilk, and yogurt.

For grilling - A combination of herbs, cheeses, garlic spread, seasonings, either Indian, Italian or Greek can produce magic. Olive oil sprinkled over vegetables - onion, eggplant, potato, peppers - red, green, yellow, orange; mushrooms, green firm tomatoes, squashes or any un-soggy vegetable.

Several of the appetizers that call for frying can be replaced with sauteing that practically cuts all grease.
