Watermelon and watermelon
In case you missed it, we're talking watermelon! Adam Liaw's fruity platter features fresh slices plus a clever granita. In ‘Wow!’ stakes, this is up there with the double rainbow.
Classic ceviche
If your tastebuds are hankering an exotic holiday, get into Peru's ceviche clásico! Ready in 10 minutes, this seafood appetiser is packed with South American flair.
Tomato and pomegranate salad
50 shades of red later, Yotam Ottolenghi wows us once again with colour and ease! This recipe is inspired by a restaurant near the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul and is the perfect combination of bitter-sweet.
Spicy fruit salad
Summer screams fruit salad and we couldn't possibly go past this Indonesian creation. The special spice is in the sauce, which is made from palm sugar, chilli, sweet soy and lemon juice.
Grilled chicken with Mexican street salad
A little spice and a lot of flavour, Peter Kuruvita gives us chicken, Mexican-style. This dish will have you dreaming of jalapeño vinaigrette.
San choy bau
Made with a seafood twist, this recipe swaps your usual pork mince for king prawns and ocean trout — it's light and crispy all in one mouthful.
Roasted tomato salsa
Salsa! Fun to say, and even more fun to eat. here, Matthew Evans gives us his recipe for using tomatillo — a fruit that's a bit like a small, green tomato. It's festive and you can keep those summer flavours alive come wintertime simply by freezing it.
Mango, rum and young coconut ice blocks
A mango daiquiri disguised as an ice-block? Thank you to our seasonal cook, O Tama Carey! Wonderfully refreshing and extremely fun, this is a must for end-of-summer sessions.
Tuna pokē bowl
Hawaii's “po-kay” is similar to Spanish ceviche or Italian crudo — it's delicious raw fish! Paired it with rice, garnished with fresh cucumber and avocado slices and eaten by the bowl-full, this one definitely ticks the ‘healthy’ box!
Cold tofu with prawns and hot-sour dressing
Easy to make, easy to eat! A hot-sour sauce gives the tofu and prawns tonnes of flavour. Please make sure to serve this one immediately and you will not be disappointed.
Beetroot, apple and goat's cheese wraps
These are perfect lunchtime, picnic or on-the-go wraps. No cutlery is needed and use raw beetroot here, not only will it look spectacular but there's something heavenly about its marriage with goat's cheese and walnuts.
Barbecued squid salad with herb and lime dressing
Mint, coriander, garlic, chilli, lime and fish sauce — this dressing on this salad is a winner.
Strawberries and cream slab
Take this recipe for what it is: a slab of good ol' strawberries and cream. It's quick to prepare (all in the freezing really!) and contains no added sugar. We give this gluten-free winner Super Cool status.
Miso-roasted eggplant
Me-so happy with Adam Liaw's baked eggplant topped with a nutty-sweet miso sauce! But seriously, this vegetarian dish is fantastic with rice or as part of a Japanese banquet.
Corn on the cob
We're getting a little corny thinking about summer and Mexico's street snack, elote. Commonly held by the husk or perched on a stick, these babies are sprinkled with chilli, lime, mayo and cheeeeese.
Raspberry and rosewater chia pudding
This Turkish-inspired breakfast (or dessert) is gluten-, dairy- and fuss-free! It's as pretty as a picture, and the addition of rosewater truly pops!
