Ice-creams, froyos, sorbets, salads… all that refreshes when outside sizzles.
From fridge end veg to high end supper.
Calm, uplifting, nourishing and light soup for the soul.
What to bring to the next vicars and tarts garden party.
A desperate attempt to use up the puff pastry lurking at the back of my freezer. Tasty, though.
Ottolenghi strikes again: sweet butternut squash and carrot jam paired with goats cheese and crunchy poppyseed pastry
A classic chilled potato and leek soup with asparagus and greek yoghurt.
A no-pasta lasagne with courgettes as the "pasta" layer and aubergines, tomatoes, red onion and basil as the "meat".
A freeform galette which can be adapted to many different fillings.
A lovely light lunch dish, great with a tomato salad. Also perfect for picnics and buffets.
