‘Summer is a wonderful time of year for chefs. I love winter and all the slow cooked, sticky, braised, comforting dishes it brings, but there’s a new energy to summer; the produce is more colourful and vibrant and, like the nation, a bit happier and more relaxed, and that’s reflected on the plate. Cooking at this time of year should be quick, and it’s the best way to coax the flavours out of summer fruit and vegetables, which is why I’ve put this menu together with that in mind.’
Crab & tangled asparagus salad on toast
