It’s been so hot this week that spending too much time in a hot kitchen hasn’t been a very enticing prospect. How about a bowl of chilled gazpacho?

Another super easy recipe for your summer table. This is delicious and takes just 5 minutes to prepare. Serve it on its own for a light starter.

Such a simple dessert and one that you are going to love (if you love the sharp tang of rhubarb). This easy summer recipe is a real winner.

For a really easy dinner try this really simple marinade. It works well on chicken thighs or breasts and is healthy and quick to prepare.

2 super quick simple summer salads for you. Cucumber, creme fraiche and garlic salad and kidney bean, cumin and coriander salad. Healthy, low fat, quick and tasty.

New potatoes roasted in the oven with cumin and turmeric. Delicious with a steak or any kind of bbq they are very moreish!
