Everyone loves a BBQ, but we all want to sit and relax outside with friends - not slave away inside making side dishes while everything cooks on the BBQ.
In this newsletter you’ll find a few ideas we regularly make that are easy, quick to whip up but super tasty! Just click on the images to take you to the recipe on my Instagram.
Next time I’ll be sharing a few easy ideas for summer nibbles, as well as quick and simple summer desserts.
Let’s just hope the sun comes out!

Cucumber Salad a la Xi’an Impression (Flavour, page 113)
So simple and quick but beautiful and tasty. Kids always love cucumber but with this salty, creamy dressing it’s even better!

Hot tomatoes with cold yoghurt
(Simple, page 70)
It’s easy to make the tomatoes ahead of time, then reheat them... before simply throwing them on a plate of cold yoghurt.
Amazing flavours, so pretty and always enjoyed by everyone…..

Baked rice with confit tomatoes and garlic (Simple, page 174)
This perfectly cooked fluffy rice is so easy to make and you can make everything ahead of time and simply add the rice and water and bake when you have guests.
Always beautiful and so tasty, everyone always adores it and wants to make it!

Two other super quick ideas for you:
I buy frozen green beans and frozen ratatouille/roasted vegetables.
Simply pan fry the green beans in butter and add some garlic and salt at the end.
For the ratatouille just roast in the oven with olive oil then serve!
