What we feel like eating and cooking changes with the seasons. On long hot summer days we can enjoy barbecues in the garden, leisurely picnics and even the luxury of dinners al fresco on sultry evenings. The freshest food needs the least cooking, and that is always the season's finest ingredient. Sweetcorn, aubergines, tomatoes are all at their tastiest in the hottest months. Raspberries, strawberries and currants are ripe for the picking. Over 30 dishes include the typical summer recipes such as Gazpacho to the more unusual like Fresh Fig and Filo Tart.
