This bright-tasting, brilliantly satisfying salad is perfect for a late summer lunch or meat-free Monday dinner.
Packed with chopped walnuts, mozzarella, herbs and diced garlic and cooked on the vine for impact, these stuffed tomatoes would make for a lovely, light, simple summer meal.
Perfect for a summertime garden lunch or picnic, this simple savoury tart makes for a deliciously satisfying and quietly impressive option that will please both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
Offering a deliberately simple spin on a classic seasonal dessert, this lovely pavlova is a lot easier to make than you’d expect and tastes like summer on a plate.
Americans are good at salads. Salad in the States doesn’t really mean ‘greens’. It means a big plate with a combination of tastes, textures and temperatures – fresh fruit; raw vegetables; salad leaves; a protein; something crisp and a great dressing to bring it all together like Poppyseed, Thousand Island, or the simple perfection of buttermilk-based Ranch.
More importantly, Americans understand how to bring all of these elements together with a dressing, be it poppyseed and peach, Thousand Island (good in its own retro way) or a simple, buttermilk-based ranch
With the orzo and citrus flavours, this soup is a bit like that Greek lemon and egg broth Avgolemono; with all the vegetables and herbs, it’s similar to an Italian minestrone, albeit without the tomatoes. Either way it’s lovely and warm and filling and tastes like summer into autumn…
