Strawberries

Fruity rosé and juicy strawberries form the base of this refreshing summer dessert for grown-ups, with balsamic vinegar bringing a lovely sweet sharpness and a gorgeous deep colour

With ground almonds and whisked egg whites, this thin light sponge cake bypasses the mainstays of butter and refined flour in a standard sponge recipe. The strawberry sauce is also every bit as sweet and sticky as jam, with about a tenth of the sugar

A really easy ice cream, with no machine or whisking required. Don’t be put off by the idea of basil in an ice cream – it adds just a whisper of summery freshness, but you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if you prefer

Swap your morning energy bar for one of these beauties – the most delicious breakfast on a stick

You can never have too many versions of a summer pavlova. The Daiquiri cream also tastes great poured over strawberries or raspberries too
