Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Farfalle

Recipe by: Myra

Be the first to review it!

This is a light summery pasta salad that I love because the flavours go so well together. Lemon juice and a drizzle of good olive oil finish everything off nicely. It does taste best when chilled for 1 or 2 hours.

Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa

Recipe by: FHIVESHOT

Looking for a refreshing, sweet and spicy salsa for a warm summer evening? This is our favourite. Serve with tortilla crisps. This is also fantastic served on grilled fish. I often use jarred jalapeno chillies instead of fresh.

Home-made ice creams are rich and creamy, and always a luscious treat. This one, served with hot apricots, is no exception. If you have an ice cream maker - see notes below.

Cassata

Recipe by: Celeste

Be the first to review it!

This is one of my favourite desserts to make for company in the spring. It’s easy with store-bought sponge cake and it looks like it took hours to prepare with the candied fruit/ricotta filling and green tinted marzipan covering. Some variations use gelato instead of ricotta, but I prefer it best with ricotta.

Chickpea Gazpacho

Recipe by: MEIMEICAT1

Make this chilled summer soup after you've returned from your local market - in other words, use the freshest veg! The chickpeas make it more filling than a classic gazpacho.

Chilled leek and avocado soup

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

Coriander and lime juice accentuate the delicate avocado flavour in this refreshing soup. It is simple yet interesting, and ideal for a summer's dinner-party first course or a light lunch. Do not add the avocado too soon – not only will it discolour slightly, but its flavour will mellow and lose the vital freshness.

Chilled Tomato Soup with Parmesan Ice Cream

Recipe by: VICENÇ

An impressive summertime dinner party starter. Use very ripe tomatoes, good quality olive oil and Parmesan for best flavour.

Recipe by: Chrissie Lloyd

An elegant, pale pink dish, perfect to serve in summertime. The fromage frais makes it creamy, but keeps it low in fat at the same time.

This is a very easy recipe, requiring no sugar thermometer and no sensitive tempering of the chocolate. Make several to give as a homemade food gift or to include in a Christmas hamper.

Chocolate Tablet (Scottish Fudge)

Recipe by: Susan

Reviews(2)

This is pure heaven - well I think so anyway! It's sweet, melts in your mouth but is not chewy. This version is flavoured with chocolate and it makes a great gift. I always make some for my daughter's teachers at Christmas.

Christmas Pudding Cakey-Treats

Recipe by: aok666

Be the first to review it!

Daft name, I know. I asked my granny (a retired chef) what they actually were and she said they were a kind of truffle (the choccy sweet, not the fungus). I looked up truffles and they are made from cream, sugar and grated chocolate. They are NOTHING like these. I guess Granny was bluffing. So I am going to stick to the daft name above until someone has a better suggestion.
