I simply love summer and would like it to go on as long as possible. I take inspiration from far flung countries that enjoy the luxury of heat all year round, where limes, lemons, coriander and mint are king, where spices are used to great effect and flavours are strong but not heavy. Spending time with friends and family, inside or outside, calls for what I like to describe to my children as ‘interactive’ food: things you can stuff, pack or build yourself, adding as much or as little as you like. Some of my favourite types of interactive food include homemade pizza, fajitas or pitta bread. Or my latest creation, chicken tacos, taking inspiration from Mexico, full of smoky chilli, fresh coriander, yoghurt and lime with juicy salsa and smooth but spiky guacamole on the side.
