My parents ate a hot roast dinner every Sunday even in the height of summer.

Why they did it and how they managed to eat it in the heat was beyond me.

These are days for salads, strawberries and ice cream surely? Who wants hot food when it's 80 degrees?

Mr ExD likes his Sunday roast with Yorkshires, and I am happy to oblige so over the years I've become an expert in the genre, even though I say it myself.
However, in this hot weather I resent spending time in a hot kitchen preparing meals like this.
Someone once told me that hotels frequently cook suck meals the night before and serve the food re-heated next day. I was assured that as long as the food reached a certain temperature (what temperature) it was safe and 'normal' in catering.
This sounds bad practise to me - any hints?
