"Summer is served! with my four flavour-packed menus to suit all your summer entertaining needs. These were all designed to be as easy as possible to actually enjoy the sun, rather than be stuck in the kitchen. We’ve got a mix of bold summer flavours, textures and colours and even some recipes for when the weather is looking not so glorious; there really is something for everyone. I hope you love these menus as much as I do, and feel free to mix and match between them to suit you. Happy cooking!"
