Berry messy
This also makes a great breakfast. You can buy all kinds of fruit compotes from good supermarkets – try experimenting with different ones such as rhubarb, cherry and apricot

Tomato stuffed peppers with anchovies and mozzarella
This is a great little supper dish, served simply with a salad and crusty bread. Alternatively, use it to accompany lamb or beef dishes, and grilled or roasted turbot or sea bass

Lincolnshire sausage and potato salad
For a Continental flavour, you can substitute the Lincolnshire sausages for spicy merguez from France

Borlotti bean, celery and tomato salad
Good for magnesium; also a source of B1, B6, folate and vitamin C

Orzo salad with lemon and herb dressing
This rice-shaped pasta keeps its texture well, so you can take it on a picnic and it will still look as good as it tastes

White chocolate milkshake
A change from the usual, this is a decadent choice for a hot summer's day

Oreo cookie milkshake
The classic American cookie makes the perfect addition to this icy summer drink

Strawberry Milkshake
A perfect fruity summer cooler

Pea shoot and horseradish salad
For a delicious light lunch, serve this salad with blinis or potato farls (Irish potato bread)
