Summer recipes
Summer time often means you want to cook less, but that doesn't mean not eating! Instead, think simple - fire up the grill to enjoy skewers and burgers. Go for no-cook options like salads and small plates. Plus, summer is when a lot of great produce is at it's peak so enjoy some fantastic fruit and vegetables in ways that show them at their best.
Favorite grilling recipes
We grill regularly in the summer, and I often take advantage of preparing ahead of time with marinades so the cooking is quick and easy. Add some of our regulars to your menu.
Summery salads
Salads are a great way to round out a summer meal, and make use of the great produce available. These salads are the perfect with a whole range of mains.
Cooling drinks and scoops
If the heat's getting too much, cool down with a refreshing drink or frozen treat. These are firm favorites in our house that we highly recommend.
