White chocolate berry cheesecake

A stunning no-cook pudding bursting with summer flavours – great for relaxed entertaining

Tuna & caper panzanella

A quick no-cook salad that is a meal in itself. A great picnic or lunch dish for a summer’s day

Barbecued plantains

Cook perfect plantains by wrapping them in foil and barbecuing them. This Latin American relative of the banana is delicious in sweet and savoury dishes.

Turkey steaks with citrus & ginger sauce

Use quick-cook turkey steaks for this recipe as they cook in a few minutes, and make a change from chicken

Buttered leeks

A Scottish favourite, this is one of the best ways to cook leeks – slowly and gently in their own juice
