Summer

Nothing is more refreshing than a chilled soup on a hot summer’s day. Creamy coconut milk contrasts with Thai curry paste, chilli and lime in this vibrant green gazpacho. Serve it for lunch or as a supper party starter

So simple and yet so full of flavour, this is the perfect summer salad. It would work well with some barbecued chicken or pork – or if you wanted to bulk it out, toss through some pieces of crispy fried pitta bread

The romesco sauce also makes a great canapé – spread it over little rounds of toasted sourdough and serve with ricotta on top

This simple salad balances sweet oranges with salty black olives. Serve alongside our couscous and creamy tahini chicken recipe, or with barbecued steak, pork fillet or halloumi

A super quick, relaxed starter that’s perfect for sharing. If you fancy more of a kick, you can add in a finely chopped jalapeño

This refreshing salad is ideal for sunny summer days

Jarred antipasto is a great way to jazz up roasted baby potatoes for a deliciously different side dish. Save the recipe for your summer barbecues or turn it into a quick-and-easy midweek meal with the addition of some flaked salmon or shredded roast chicken

This sweet, spiced dressing works wonderfully with courgettes. Try barbecuing the veg for an extra smoky flavour
