Baked Ricotta Courgette Flowers

Courgette flowers mark high summer. They are often deep-fried, but I’ve decided to fill them with Italian ricotta and bake them. This recipe is ready in 30 minutes and is great for a quick summer lunch.

Strawberry and Yuzu Ice Cream with Pistachio Dacquoise

Strawberry and Yuzu Ice Cream with Pistachio Dacquoise

Strawberry and yuzu ice cream is sandwiched between two layers of crisp, salty pistachio dacquoise. This recipe is great because you don’t waste the egg whites from the ice cream, and the dacquoise keeps in the freezer if well wrapped. Cut a slice and enjoy the taste of summer!

Clam Pasta

Azure seas, glimmering white heat, an outdoor trattoria, clam pasta or ‘spaghetti alle vongole’ is summer on a plate. Enjoy with a glass of chilled white wine, and make a whole afternoon of it.
