Summer

This special summer salad comes together with less effort than you’d think, thanks to a handful of clever shortcuts. Soaking the courgette ribbons in icy water keeps them crisp and fresh, while earthy puy lentils turn this into a satisfying side

Soaking the halloumi in boiling water before grilling and glazing will soften and par-cook it, so you get a fluffier, creamier centre when it’s grilled

Elderflower cordial’s delicate floral sweetness enhances roasted blueberries and whipped cream in this simple six-ingredient dessert. Roast the blueberries ahead and assemble the puds to serve

Fragrant saffron infuses the broth in this golden chicken stew, which is peppered with briny olives and salty anchovies. It’s best mopped up with warm crusty bread
