Warm raspberry, blueberry and amaretti brulee
A seriously sensuous pudding, served warm with a juicy berry salsa

Tiger prawns with herb mayo
Summer is all about this type of simple, delicious, messy food and freshly peeled prawns are ideal for picnics

Cumberland toad-in-the-hole
Tomatoes, mushrooms and fresh parsley give a modern twist to this version of a British classic

Blackcurrant pavlova
A heavenly combination of sweet and sharp – you won’t be able to resist this

Luxury carrot cake
Grated carrot adds a sweet and nutty dimension to this bake – guaranteed to become a family favourite

Rich chocolate mousse
For a citrus version of this mousse, add the grated zest and juice of an orange to the chocolate at the melting stage

Choc-cherry fudge slice
Gooey and very moreish – bet you can’t eat just one slice of this

Chocolate and sultana brownies
Great with a tea or coffee, and in lunch boxes. Any leftover brownies will keep well in an airtight container

Tuna nicoise with honey and mustard vinaigrette
Great with seared tuna, new potatoes and herb salad

Seville orange and almond torte with orange and cardamom syrup
The skin from the almonds adds flecks of colour but, if you prefer, you can use ground almonds instead. The torte will keep for two or three days in an airtight container
