8. Fruit
Sugars in foods like fruit, when heated, take on a beautiful golden color and develop a deep, caramel-like flavor. The toasty, sweet, caramelized exterior of the fruit contrasts with the soft, often tart flesh inside, creating a completely new flavor that's simply delicious.

9. Bread
The concept here is simple: hot fresh bread, cool summer kitchen.

10. Cocktails
While adding herbs to cocktails is nothing new (think mint, lavender, citrusy bergamot) grilling the herbs for a few seconds coaxes out the herb's floral qualities. Think of it as aromatherapy in a glass.
