Summer

This delicious cake has less than a tablespoon of sugar per serving

The perfect option for an alfresco lunch in the sun – serve it with crunchy bread as a meal on its own, or as a delicious side for grilled pork chops or barbecued chicken

The traditional country garden has long provided inspiration for cooks and creatives, and this bake pairs perfectly with a cup of herbal tea

Roasting beetroot with cumin emphasises its sweet but slightly earthy flavour. Combined with wilted garden greens, caramelised onion and a soft-rind cheese such as Brie (or try a goat’s cheese), you have a heavenly supper on hand.

This veggie risotto is full of summery flavours and best eaten outside in the garden with a glass of wine

In Denmark, mousse is a classic dessert referred to as ‘fromage’. Somewhat similar to an Italian panna cotta but lighter and fresher, it can be served with all kinds of fresh berries or a compote.

Warning, this ice cream is dangerously addictive! The clotted cream adds a really rich creaminess and the honeycomb a wonderful toffee-like taste.

Sweet potato, slightly tart pears and a creamy, piquant Gorgonzola are a marriage made in heaven. Scatter a handful of butter-fried sage leaves on top just before serving to bring a light crispiness to this dish. Serve at room temperature, not cold from the fridge.

Get deliciously messy with this fun and creative sweet treat.
