Sweet
A hybrid of my two favourite things: French toast and crumpets. To turn it into something more substantial, you could pop a fried egg or some fried tomatoes – or both – on top and call it dinner.
Vegetarian
Nothing says spring quite as eloquently as a fresh asparagus salad. This delicious vegetable is in season now (see page 88), and tossing it through a salad like this is easily a meal in itself. For a more substantial meal, serve with grilled white fish or chicken.
Beverage
The secret to this is to allow the chilli to marinate in the sugar syrup for at least a couple of hours before serving. The longer you leave it, the spicier it’ll be!
Beverage
This eye-catching shot is believed to have originated in the 1970s by a bartender and fan of the band the B52s. There’s no ice, so you might want to refrigerate the spirits before serving.
Food & Drink
Not nearly as terrifying as its name would suggest, this blend of vodka, tomato juice and blood orange juice makes for a very pretty cocktail.
Food & Drink
From the gentle pink tinge of New Zealand-grown fresh garlic, to the juicy red wine crush of boysenberries, this season’s produce comes in some gorgeous hues.
Seafood
Ready in a flash, this pasta with a kick is the perfect laid-back summer meal solution.
Food & Drink
You know winter’s finally moving on simply by visiting a local market. With the new season comes plenty of fresh produce and fantastic flavour.
Beverage
Cocktail lovers will know there’s currently no trendier drink on the scene than the Negroni. This recipe can be made straightaway, however if you have time, infuse a bottle of gin with rosemary for a few days prior to making your drinks for a refreshing cocktail that tastes of the outdoors.
Seafood
There are so many good things about this recipe – one being that you don’t even need to buy the skewers! Delicious straight from the barbecue with slices of fresh sourdough and a side salad.
Meat
Lovers of this Vietnamese staple sandwich may be surprised at just how easy they are to prepare in your camper. It’s a good way to use up any leftovers too!
