Darina Allen's favourite summer dishes

We are coming into the most super exciting time of the year for both cooks and gardeners. The summer produce is ready to harvest at last, says Darina Allen.

This week we picked the first of the broad beans and peas to add to the beets, courgettes and carrots we’ve been enjoying for the past few weeks.

Everybody, young and old, looks forward to the first new home grown potatoes. We’ve been digging our crop of organic casa blanca and colleens for over a month now.
