It’s the month of summer holidays and food inspiration from afar. Whilst travels may be somewhat more local this year, there’s no harm adding some fresh chillies to your marinades, whacking some of the good stuff on the BBQ and pretending you’re sunning yourself somewhere a little more exotic than your garden, balcony or local park (social distance permitting).
Sardines are just coming in too, which could be my all time favourite fish. They bring back memories of being on holiday in Spain, eating them grilled over olive wood with my toes buried in the sand beneath the table. Not this year maybe, but something to look forward to.
