Hello, I was curious as to what your favorite Summer dishes from around Tamriel are? The types of dishes that are cool in temp/don't require much cooking?
While not every region of Tamriel experiences four seasons, we can all agree that one of the most important things in life is food that you'll still want to eat despite the presence of overbearing sunshine, flying insects, and sweltering heat. These are some dishes from across the continent that might tickle your fancy in the summertime!
Altmer
Chilled gazpacho aside, the Altmer really are the masters of summer dishes thanks to the warm and temperate climate of Summerset. One of my personal favourites, from Vulkhel Guard, is a medley of raw and lightly seared ocean fish and roe on a bed of sticky rice. The fish is delightfully fresh, and is seasoned with yuzu and saltrice sauce, before being topped with a healthy spoonful of salmon roe and shredded nori.
Argonians
It's (the worst part of) summer all year round in Black Marsh, and the food is there to help beat the heat! Chilled egg and crustacean custard sounds weird, it's truly delectable! A savoury egg custard is steamed in small bowls with any type of crustacean meat, or snails. It is then left to cool by leaving the bowls to float in water. The end result is creamy, delicious, and moreish!
Bosmer
Summer dishes in Valenwood are a cause for celebration among the Bosmer, because it means barbecue season! Break out the cold jagga, grab the coals, and bring as much meat as you can! All sorts of meats are great when barbecued, from squirrel and pork to timber mammoth and venison. Meat is always seasoned with rock salt before hitting the grill. Also, don't forget the iconic, squeaky grilled timber mammoth barbecue cheese!
Bretons
There's nothing quite like kicking back on a warm summer's day in High Rock with a light and refreshing cold roast chicken and millet salad, with deep fried dandelions and seasonal mushrooms. This salad, originating from Alcaire, is a great way to use up last night's roast chicken, and is great with a drizzle of Breton balsamic vinegar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Dunmer
Summer is a wholly foreign concept in Morrowind, but light and refreshing food is always welcome against the volcanic heat. Strips of grilled, spiced guar are pounded til tender, then tossed into a stir fry of bittergreen, hackle-lo, and fried ash yam cubes. It's served with a good drizzle of comberry vinegar, and steamed or fried kwama egg saltrice.
Imperials
Every time I visit my home on the Gold Coast of Cyrodiil, I absolutely have to make my favourite regional dish that's perfect for summer: chicken and eggplant bake. Strips of chicken and eggplant are laid over a mix of scalloped potatoes and fresh tomato slices. They are covered in a bechamel sauce and lots of cheese then baked until golden. The end result is a creamy, tangy bake that's finished with a good drizzle of fresh pesto and West Weald pecorino.
Khajiit
One of my favourite dishes in all of Tamriel is a vermicelli salad from Southern Elsweyr, that can only be described as an explosion of colours, flavours, and textures. Cold vermicelli is tossed together with shredded green papaya in a sauce including ingredients like lime juice, fish sauce, moon sugar, and fresh chilis. It's topped with crispy, deep fried catfish, and crushed toasted nuts.
Nords
Whiterun Hold is home to Skyrim's summeriest of dishes, apple, jazbay grape, and cabbage slaw. It's made from a rich and creamy mayonnaise base, with slices of apples, chopped jazbay grapes, and an abundance of shredded cabbage. It is topped with walnuts and sometimes bacon lardons, and served lightly chilled. The slaw is usually served on its own as a small meal, or as a side to grilled meats.
Orcs
Wood Orcs in Valenwood have, like the Bosmer, become masters of the barbecue. However, they prefer to make skewers of spiced, minced meat and root vegetables, as opposed to plain chunks of meat. Minced beef, pork, or timber mammoth are mixed with a secret blend of spices, including cinnamon and frost mirriam, before being shaped into small bricks. The bricks are skewered with long metal rods, and grilled until there's a nice bit of char while still being juicy on the inside. Wash it down with a cold glass of sugar mammoth milk with mashed mango!
Redguards
Just like Elsweyr and Morrowind, summer isn't a concept in the hot and rugged land of Hammerfell. Keeping cool meals ready to serve in johads, or rain catchers, is an Alik'r trick that's been passed down for generations. Pre-cooked saffron rice with nuts and dried fruit are wrapped tightly in palm leaf packages, and left to cool in the waters of the johad. When it's time to eat, simply unwrap the cool rice and serve with curries, goat's yoghurt sauce, or chutneys. Simple, light, and good to tuck into after a scorching day in the Alik'r.

Cucumber-Dill Mousse
During the dog days of August, I love cold dishes. One my favorites is Cucumber-Dill Mousse. Perfect cucumbers are plentiful in the farmers’ markets, and this is great way to serve them as your vegetable dish, with no cooking required. Another virtue is that it’s easy to make, a blessing when you’re too hot to spend hours in the kitchen My cucumber of choice is the Kirby. It’s firm, crisp, has…

Ciambotta Reimagined- Italian Summer Stew
An all-in-one dish for a homey vegetable stew bursting with summery flavors. One thing about summer vegetables that never changes is how delicious they are. It has been transformed into a hearty, savory feast with the addition of pasta and Italian sausage.
