Salads fit for summer
Why cook things if you don’t need to? Sometimes all you need is to slice a heap of fresh roma or cherry tomatoes, with the glint of a sharp knife as your cooking companion, to appreciate food in its simplicity. Salads are your token to quick, abundantly flavoured meals.
Main meals for sharing over long conversations
Foods that carry conversation should preferably be easy to make, or suited to making in groups, and then – not too fussy to eat. Rows of silverware at formal sit-down dinners tend to break the relaxed, social atmosphere so large servings that can be passed around with reckless abandon are the ones, we’ve found, that connect you to the heart of what eating together is all about.
Sweet endings for summer
We wish life was a giant hourglass, where the banalities were tiny grains of sand – trickling through really quickly and the good times were great big gloops of sand lumped together, so that when it came to their time to trickle through, they would rather get stuck, pausing the passing of the hours. But all the grains are the same size. Desserts however, they seem to be a pretty good and sticky substitute for making those get togethers feel like little eternities
There you have it. Our best summer recipes for sharing the long hours of our the warmer season. Will you make them this weekend?
