Summer! Glorious summer. It's here — and boy is it here. Long days, balmy evenings and beaming sunshine mean garden dinners, barbecues, picnics, lazy evenings spent with friends... but it also means strawberries, peaches, cherries, apricots, fresh peas, courgette flowers. Everything at this time of year is just that little bit more sweet and colourful.

With such an incredible range of produce available over the next few months, we've made sure you've got enough recipes to keep you cooking throughout. There are perfect barbecue sides from Thomasina Miers and Jodie Nixon, salads from Elena Silcock and The Rangoon Sisters, simple seasonal dinners from Georgia Levy and Ixta Belfrage, family feasts from Asma Khan, and desserts from Anna Higham, for those days you want to while away in the kitchen making ice-cream and pudding. Summer is beautiful. And cooking in the summer even more so.
