Summer Cookbooks

Susan Chang did these NPR reports on best cookbooks for summer; I just listened to 2010 and 2011 back to back on my mp3 player, and my tummy is growling, and it's too hot to think of cooking much. Books I hope for solutions with:
My kitchen in 2008; at the end of summer 2011 I'll move to away from it forever. I'll miss you, best-part-of-this-falling-down-apartment
  1. Susan Middleton, Fast, Fresh and Green: More than 90 Delicious Recipes for Veggie Lovers. I need this now! NOW!
  2. Marie Simmons, Fresh & Fast Vegetarian: Recipes That Make a Meal. Clearly a copycat of the above, but still worth a look.
  3. Simon Hopkinson, The Vegetarian Option. Apparently a literary title, as Chang quotes to demonstrate: "When a freshly harvested cauliflower is in the peak of condition I gain great pleasure in running my hand over its creamy white curds, almost completely enclosed by sturdy green leafy ribs, still wet with rainwater or morning dew."
