Summer Recipes

Corn: Fresh corn on the cob is a staple of summer in Australia. Enjoy it grilled, boiled, or roasted, and add it to salads, salsas, or as a side dish for BBQs and picnics.

Zucchini and Summer Squash: These versatile vegetables thrive in the summer months and can be used in a variety of dishes, including stir-fries, salads, grilled skewers, and pasta.

Cucumbers: Cool and crisp cucumbers are plentiful during the Australian summer, making them perfect for salads, sandwiches, dips, and refreshing drinks like cucumber-infused water or cocktails.

Leafy Greens: While some leafy greens like spinach and kale may prefer cooler temperatures, varieties such as lettuce, rocket, and Asian greens thrive during the Australian summer. Use them as a base for salads, wraps, or sandwiches.

Herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, mint, parsley, and coriander flourish in the summer months, adding brightness and flavour to a wide range of dishes, including salads, marinades, dressings, and cocktails.

Tropical Fruits: In addition to mangoes, tropical fruits like pineapples, bananas, passionfruit, and papayas are abundant during the Australian summer, offering exotic flavours and versatility in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Seafood Soiree: Celebrate the abundance of fresh seafood available during the Australian summer with a seafood-themed dinner party. Serve a seafood platter featuring prawns, oysters, crab legs, and smoked salmon. Create a coastal ambiance with nautical-themed decorations and beach-inspired cocktails like mojitos or margaritas.

Mediterranean Meze: They say a Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest, so why not transport your guests to the Mediterranean with a meze-style dinner party featuring an assortment of small plates and dips? Think Greek salad, hummus, tzatziki and pita.
