All year we wait for the big three -- corn, beans, and tomatoes -- to come into season so we can savor those strong flavors of summer, and now they're finally here by the bushel! If you haven't already been overwhelmed, head to your nearest farmers' market as soon as possible. All three are best enjoyed at their peak as the star of their own show: sweet corn on the cob with butter and salt; steamed or sauteed green beans with butter and a quick squirt of lemon; thick slabs of sliced tomatoes seasoned with salt, pepper and maybe a few wisps of chopped basil. After gorging on these classics you can mix things up in the spirit of the season by grilling your corn and beans: soak the corn with its husks in water for an hour, then put the whole thing on a hot fire; toss green beans with olive oil before grilling. Tomatoes don't grill well, but for variety with them they can be served at the end of the meal, as well as at the beginning: why not try tomatoes as part of your dessert?
