The weather hasn’t played ball much over the last few weeks so when the sun does come out, make the most of it! Fire up the BBQ, fetch the tongs and rustle up a special lunch or dinner for your loved ones.

Griddled courgettes with feta, olives and mint

Peaches with halloumi and mint

As a special bonus for paid subscribers, here are three additional BBQ recipes including an exclusive for griddled lettuce with green goddess dressing (if you haven’t griddled lettuce before, take this as your sign to do so!), a simple corn side that will no doubt be everyone’s favourite AND my fave spiced chicken with charred lemons and spring onions.
