Enjoy a casual get together and serve grilled halloumi with blistered jalapeno, lime & tequila relish or kimchi latkes & poached eggs, finishing with a voluptuous artisan cheeseboard complete with homemade membrillo. A light summer lunch is the perfect occasion to serve lobster & lemon potato salad with tarragon vinegar or alternatively, fire up the grill and those sausages and burgers will be irresistible served with smokey mountain catsup or rosemary & thyme mustard. Ideas for desserts include bitter chocolate cake with prunes in armagnac and jam jar amaretto cherry crumbles, while drink highlights range from innocent Scottish barley water slushes to a more adult orange bourbon Manhattan. Start pickling and preserving and enjoy your seasonal plunder all year round.
