Hello!

My week has got off to a strong start — a lovely, blue sky morning; a prompt school drop-off; and one heck of an apple turnover.

While in an unusually sunny mood, I thought I’d point you in the direction of some seasonally useful side dishes.

During warmer months we should care very little about what’s in the middle of the plate — it’s the sides that make things feel and taste seasonal, or transport us and our dining tables across the world to suitably hot cuisines and countries. With a quick twist of the salads and carbs, that steak, chicken thigh, or piece of fish could become Tuscan, Thai or Tunisian (alliteration! Before 11am on a Monday!!).

With that in mind, here are a few posts and recipes from early summertime last year. Maybe you subscribed after they were published and so never saw them. Or perhaps you’ll remember having read them, but will be happy to click-in again.

Have a great week. Back on Friday/Saturday.

Ed
