Great British Food Magazine Jul/Aug 16 Vorige editie

We're gearing up for some serious summer feasting with delicious ideas from Rick Stein, The Hairy Bikers, John Torode and Val Warner, as well as mouth-watering recipes for everything from BBQ pork belly and perfect chilli dogs to dainty bakes and luscious cocktails.

When we were children, July seemed to stretch out for weeks on end – the days were spent barefoot in the sun, with an endless supply of ice cream. So this issue we're capturing a few of the childish joys of summer! Spend the weekend under the stars with our pick of the UK's new artisan festivals, where kids and adults alike are encouraged to get stuck into activities from cooking and wood-carving to pottery and print-making. Or if you prefer to stay closer to home, we reveal the ultimate 18-page summer guide to barbecuing, with all the kit, tips and recipes you need to throw a memorable garden party.

British berries are hard to beat, and we're celebrating the traditional recipes that highlight these gems. Try our magnificent Eton mess cake for an updated classic, and make sure
you treat yourself to our individual summer puds, homemade fish and chips and perfect Pimms. Finally, indulge in a little grown-up lolly with our Heaven on a Stick feature; we can't get enough of these frozen stunners, particularly the strawberry cheesecake lolly.
