A frittata, a pasta and a lovely little side dish 

A salad with melon, grilled chicken with cherries and panzanella

Try it with sausages, trout or cheese

Entertaining during summer should be a relaxed affair. Choose dishes that require little preparation but deliver on wow appeal. Your only job is to revel in your guest's praise

Plus a zingy salad and a soothing broth and how to cook a crab properly 

Pickle it, gratin it or serve it with pine nuts

And a warm salad with courgette and mozzarella

Bake it, skewer it and try it with watermelon 

A salad, a soup and a tarte tatin that will wow your guests

You might recognise this crunchy green, but do you know how to cook it??
