Great British Food Magazine Jul/Aug 2015 Zurück Ausgabe

Summer is finally here and we can't wait to tuck in! This issue we've got recipes for laid-back brunches, fruit-packed cakes and bakes, new barbecue classics and amazing ice creams and sorbets – all made using the tastiest seasonal produce. You'll also find tips, advice and chat from the likes of Mary Berry, Raymond Blanc, Simon Rogan and Duck & Waffle head chef Daniel Doherty.

At GBF we love nothing more than a trip to the seaside, and we've hunted down the UK's finest coastal food hotspots for you to enjoy this summer – from rustic crab shacks and waterside fish and chip shops to ice cream parlous and top seafood restaurants.

This month we've also dedicated 16 pages to alfresco eating with everything from how to find the best barbecue for your budget and making the perfect burger to lots of inspiring recipes to wow your guests. Just like with a good roast, it's often the sides that steal the show – so make sure you check out our ultimate mac 'n cheese (clue: it involves lots of bacon!). If you find yourself pushed for time, we've also laid out a spread of our favourite shop-bought barbecue bites, fresh from the butchers counter.

And don't miss our light-hearted guide to hosting a fuss (and wasp!) free picnic; we've got everything covered, from keeping your drinks icy cold to finding the perfect spot to lay your blanket.
