Summer

Striking the balance of sweet and sour, this refreshing cocktail blends summer strawberries, rum and a splash of lime. It’s the perfect tipple for a balmy evening

Marinate and assemble these paneer kebabs before you leave for your trip – they’ll taste even better after a couple of days, and all you need to do is pop them on the barbecue! You will need eight metal skewers

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

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 five-ingredient pudding that takes only minutes to assemble, but the end result is so much more than the sum of its parts. Summery yet indulgent, the amaretti cream works just as well with peaches, nectarines or figs

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

Fresh with the flavours of summer, this gin-based cocktail would be perfect for a garden party
