Icy melon salad, herby corn salad and my summer eating formula
A summer version of my flavour maps
How are you? I’m writing this from the side of a pool on a lemon farm in Mallorca with a unicorn float and some lemon trees in eye shot. I feel I’ve hit my peak holiday moment. There is ice in my wine and there is iced melon salad for dinner (more of that in a sec).
So it feels just right to be sending this to you this week. I made a little cooking show of the newsletter I sent out to you a couple of weeks ago about my summer eating formula, you can read all that here. A customisable choose-your-own-adventure recipe which will see you through the whole entire summer. You will eat well, your food will be delicious and you won’t have to turn your oven on once. Summer cooking freedom.Â
In the video I talk through the formula and show you two ways I use it to make an iced melon and green chilli salad (a life affirming way to eat melon) and a courgette, corn, herb and feta salad.Â
I’m keeping it short this week as I explain it all in the vid and here. In the true style of cooking content when I filmed this less than 10 days ago it was freezing in London and I was in a cardigan…. Happily summer is here now so ice your melon salads and your wine and lean in.
This will be the last newsletter of new stuff until September as I take a few weeks off, so in the meantime we will be sharing some old summer favourites from the last ten years of recipes.Â
Happy summer to you all in the northern hemisphere and to all below the equator I hope the sun is still shining!
