I don’t know about you, but summer holidays always creep up on me; I am never prepared! I’ve realised, though, that whatever we do together, keeping things simple is the way forward. If the sun is shining, what more do you need than a patch of grass, a blanket and some strawberries? Some of the recipes in our picnic feature (p77) use just three ingredients and can be put together on the spot. I’ll be making the Eton mess meringue

sandwiches, for sure. While I love a barbecue, my one summer essential is a freezer full of lollies (p87). I’ll be making lemonade ones for the kids, and the G&T versions for the grown-ups! While there are lots of fun things to do, keeping within budget can be tough. So have a go at our midweek meals, p32: five family dinners for £20. Have a lovely summer… and don’t forget to tell us what you make or really love in this issue!

Star letter The May issue was a real success in my house – I’ve made nine of the recipes over the last fortnight alone! At eight months pregnant I need healthy, easy recipes, and the Baked chorizo & spring greens risotto was a particular revelation in making risotto easy to cook. I look forward to the next magazine and some freezerfilling recipes before baby arrives!

This month our tester is Hannah, who lives in Sheffield with her husband, Luke, four-year-old daughter Harriet and two-year-old son Jude. ‘I teach at a secondary school, and I’m trying to be a more adventurous cook.

Harriet has recently been diagnosed with coeliac disease, so she can’t eat gluten, which has added a new dimension to the way we cook.

I enjoyed this challenge and got to make things that I wouldn’t have before. I can’t always be bothered to follow a new recipe midweek, but these were easy to follow, with a few simple ingredient swaps to make them coeliac-friendly. They’ve now been added to my list of meal ideas.’

FLOUR POWER Jamie’s bread recipes are packed with veg and ideal for introducing kids to some basic cooking skills

Hello all you lovely Tesco magazine readers, I wholeheartedly believe that cooking is up there as one of the most valuable skills you can teach a child, right alongside reading and writing. And the school holidays are a great time to have some family fun in the kitchen, while encouraging the kids to be more adventurous with their food.

Here we’ve got two very « Âã «Ô Û ã¨ ã will spark their interest – cornbread and focaccia. Both are packed with seasonal veg for them to try, and get excited about. Go for a hands-on approach and encourage your kids to taste, touch and smell the ingredients – their reactions might surprise you.

Ask the little ones to help out with random bits and pieces, like kneading and mixing, while the bigger ones can tackle slightly trickier techniques, such as measuring ingredients and grating. And remember, the more they cook, the better they’ll get!

Happy cooking,

KIDS LOVE…

Corn on the cob Fresh corn is fantastic on its own, but adding a crunchy breadcrumb topping takes it to the next level. Check out my supercharged recipe at tes.co/jamiescorn.

Courgettes For a winning way with courgettes, try fritters. Roughly grate (squeeze out the liquid) and mix with beaten egg, a little flour and crumbled cheese.

Season, then fry until golden on both sides. Easy!

C H E E S Y C O RN B RE A D With spring onions & jalapeños Cornbread is a great recipe for kids to help make as most of the magic happens in one bowl, plus it heroes a veg that they’re bound to love – sweetcorn.

erek Sarno, Tesco’s director of plant-based innovation, is the brains behind the Wicked Kitchen range. He’s on a mission to get the country eating more veg.

You launched the Wicked Kitchen range last year.

What’s your goal for it?

‘I make vegan food for meat eaters. Personally, I like to cook food that meat eaters like to eat.

It’s got to fill me up and it’s got to be tasty. I don’t see any reason why you can’t do that with plants.’

Q

What kind of cook are you?

‘I’m a rebel! I don’t always play by the rules of a recipe.

Finding new ways to add texture and flavour to really simple veg is something I love doing.’

Q

What key things would we find in your kitchen?

‘A good range of spices – my kitchen is full of them! Simply cooked veg is delicious, and if you want to add a new dimension, throwing in some ground spices can take a dish to a new level.

Also, you’d find a good griddle pan. It’s great for searing veg and adding a charred, nutty finish.’

Cook them whole!

Brush with oil or £ »« ¸÷ ó £ Â ÛÔ è »» Éó ô«ã¨ barbecue seasoning and roast or barbecue.

They’re done when you can pierce them easily with a fork. Let them sit for 5 mins before slicing.

DEREK’S TIPS FOR TOFU Use firm tofu, and don’t be afraid to season The great thing is it absorbs flavour. I like cutting it into large chunks and tossing with dried herbs and spices, like smoked paprika, garlic and onion granules or a little sage.

GREEN VEG Tenderstem broccoli, asparagus and green beans are awesome for griddling or barbecuing. Toss in oil, season with herbs and spices and throw them on the grill or cook any way you want; they only take a minute. Top with pine nuts, fried garlic or chillies for óÉè Ôè ¨

Dry thoroughly with kitchen paper It cooks best with a light coating of oil or dry seasonings.

2

Add crispness I usually sear seasoned tofu on all sides in a pan to crisp the edges, then finish it off by roasting in a hot oven for 10-15 mins. This helps it firm up even more, and ensures all sides are toasty and delicious.

3

Slice to serve Place the tofu roasted side down, then slice into the softer side. This will help it keep its shape as you cut it.

GET GRIDDLING

MUSHROOMS Brown your ’shrooms!

Make sure the pan is hot, add a little oil and really brown each side, searing deeply. The óÉè «Û èÔ ãÉ ÷Éè garlic, black pepper, or barbecue seasoning, or traditional dried sage and onion – bang on.

A heavy-based b griddle pan will give your veg a meaty, charred flavour.

SPICY

RICH ART

To cut through the richness of oily fish like sardines, tuna and salmon you need a dry, acidic white wine. Look out for muscadet or Pinot Grigio.

For duck or steak, you need a drink with bitter tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, juices like cranberry and even black tea are perfect partners.

PRODUCTION CLIENT

SHARP Acidic flavours like lemon and vinegar need matching â&#x20AC;&#x201C; look no further than cava or brut Champagne.

SAVOURY Deeply savoury food, such as asapargus, mushrooms or Parmesan, often proves a real challenge to match with drinks. Avoid oaked white wines such as Chardonnay, and instead opt for Sauvignon Blanc. If you want a red, try something light like Beaujolais or Pinot Noir.

Alcohol prices exclude Scotland

SWEET Sugary food can make drinks taste bitter by comparison, so always pair with something of equal or greater sweetness. Try Moscatel with lemon tart, Sauternes with caramelised fruit, and port or Pedro Ximenez sherry with chocolate.

POPPING A CORK

Guide to fizz

Raise your glass

When opening, always keep your thumb on the cork once you’ve removed the wire capsule. Point away from you and twist the bottle, not the cork, as you ease it out slowly

Good times deser ve the best sparkling wines

P

opping open a bottle of bubbly instantly transforms any day into a special celebration, but with so many distinct types of sparkling wine out there, which should you choose? Champagne might still reign as king of elegance, but prosecco offers a delightful sweetness, while crémant (French fizz produced outside the Champagne region) and cava (Spain’s premier bubbly) have finer, more delicate bubbles.

Whatever your preference, you can certainly have lots of fun finding your favourite.

COOK THE COVER

1 Prepare the wings (see right). Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. 2 Crush the spice rub ingredients to a smooth powder using a pestle and mortar. Tip into a bowl, add the chicken and massage the rub into the skin. Transfer to a baking tray lined with nonstick baking paper. Roast for 30 mins, turning halfway, until cooked through.

3 Meanwhile, light the barbecue (or heat a griddle pan). Whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small pan. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer for 5 mins until thickened.

4 Brush the wings all over with glaze, then drizzle with 1 tbsp oil.

5 Transfer the wings to the barbecue (or griddle pan). Cook for 5-8 mins, turning every 1-2 mins and brushing with more glaze. Add the lemons to the pan, cut-side down, and cook for 3 mins.

Transfer the wings to a plate. Top with the spring onions and serve with the lemons and a dip, if you like (see right).

Leftovers

Stone fruit We’re on a mission to help you make peace with your leftovers, one ingredient at a time

WORDS BRYONY BOWIE PHOTOGRAPHY ADRIAN LAWRENCE FOOD STYLING HANNAH YEADON PROP STYLING JENNY IGGLEDEN *Source: WRAP

P

eaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, cherries – stone fruits are only in season for a few months. And they can quickly become squishy, which is perhaps why 89% of the wastage is down to us not eating them in time*. But there’s no need to ditch them as soon as they become overripe. Read on for some new ideas to help you enjoy them for longer.

STORE THEM RIGHT

USE IT UP CHERRIES OR PLUMS

PEACHES OR APRICOTS

BLACK FOREST PANCAKES

HAM & BLUE CHEESE PIZZAS

Mix a mug each of self-raising Éè  Á«»¸ ô«ã¨ » £ ££ Stir in quartered cherries or diced plums and a little cocoa powder.

Fry spoonfuls of batter for 1-2 mins each side until set. Serve with yogurt or whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.

Griddle peach, apricot or nectarine slices until charred. Spread pizza bases with crème fraîche; top with torn ham, crumbled blue cheese and the fruit slices. Bake until the cheese has melted. Top with rocket and drizzle with olive oil to serve.

Underripe stone fruit can be kept at room temperature for a few days to help them ripen, then stored in a perforated bag in the fridge. The exception is cherries, which keep best in the fridge, unwashed.

USE YOUR FREEZER Stone fruits can be frozen, but you need to prepare 㨠Á Ûã , »ó ÛãÉ 㨠 open-freeze on a baking tray.

Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags. Freezing stone fruits loosens their texture, so they won’t be ideal for eating raw, but are great in crumbles or compotes.

37 THOUSAND tonnes of stone fruit are wasted each year in the UK* 95

DO YOU NEED IT? Lay out everything you’re planning to take on the bed or floor. Go through each item and ask yourself if you’ll really wear it. If the answer is no, leave it out. Pack the bare minimum, particularly if your holiday accommodation has a washing machine. That way there will be room in your suitcase for some souvenirs!

FOLD OR ROLL? One tip organisational guru Marie Kondo gives is to fold tops, trousers and underwear into neat rectangles and stack them vertically in your suitcase.

It means you can see everything you’ve packed, plus you’ll create fewer creases, as there won’t be pressure from clothes lying on top of each other. With clothes made of thinner fabrics, rolling it up is the best method.

DIVIDE AND CONQUER A top Kondo tip is to subdivide your stuff. Put chargers and cords in a pouch to prevent tangles (we like Beauty Crush Everyday Cosmetic Bag, £3) and, if you like, pop sandals in a shoe bag to separate them from your clothes. Pick up some Safe & Sound Twin Travel Bottles, £2, and decant your favourite toiletries before packing them into a separate transparent pouch for easy airport access.

PAIR LIKE WITH LIKE Keep your suitcase neat to see at a glance if you’ve forgotten anything, and keep related items together. Store makeup in its own bag, keep trinkets in a compact jewellery holder and fold underwear in its own pouch. Tip: pack socks into bra cups to maximise space.

Ask the expert: Travel with kids Blogger Karen Edwards tells us her tips on keeping little ones occupied on flights…

‘Think S.A.S. – that’s snacks, activities, sleep aids,’ says Karen. ‘When I’ve packed these, the flight has gone well.’ She suggests snacks like dried fruit, bananas, carrot, flapjacks and Cheerios. ‘Stackable pots reduce bulk afterwards,’ she says. Try Tesco Klipfresh Foodsavers 140ml, £3.50 for four.

For activities, it’s a good idea to bring new toys or things they

haven’t seen for a while. ‘It helps keep them interested that little bit longer,’ Karen tells us.

Mess-free sticker and colouring books, thin books that pack away, playing cards and travel games are the way to go.

Using ride-on luggage helps kids get enthusiastic about the journey. ‘Get them to help with the packing too!’ Karen suggests.

Later in the flight is when it’s good to say yes to screen time.

‘A tablet with their movies and a set of headphones allows them to switch off from the otherwise new and stimulating environment,’ says Karen.

MAKE AFTERSUN ICE CUBES Freeze Banana Boat Aloe Vera Gel 230g, £3, in an ice cube tray and apply to skin that’s had too much sun.

SCRUB UP Legs not seen the light of day in months? Mix olive oil, honey and sugar into a paste and use as a scrub on dry, flaky shins. If this seems like too much work, try Treaclemoon My Coconut Island Body Scrub 225ml, £3, instead.

FEEL THE POWDER If you struggle to get the sand off your kids’ legs, put talcum powder on top of it (try Fred & Flo Cuddly Soft Powder 400g, £1.25) – it’ll dry up the moisture and the sand will flake off.

ROLL WITH IT Choose stick or roll-on creams for little ones, like Tesco Soleil Kids SPF50 Sun Protection Roll On 50ml, £3.50. Let them have fun applying it liberally themselves and say goodbye to tantrums.

BE PREPARED Travel-size sun creams, such as Nivea Protect & Moisture SPF50+ 100ml, £4, are useful to keep in your handbag in case you’re out in the sun longer than you’d anticipated and need to top up your protection.

KEEP YOUR COOL It turns out there is an ideal temperature for snoozing.

‘A cool 16-18°C is thought to be best for facilitating sleep,’ says Mary Helen Rogers, a sleep expert at the Better Sleep Council. Research shows your body heat peaks in the evening and drops to its lowest levels when you’re asleep*. ‘So keep cool by closing windows in the day and opening them at night,’ says Mary Helen. Keeping the curtains closed on hot days and using a blackout blind at night will also help you nod off.

Go for cool light fabrics to sleep in too. 1 F&F Chain Print Silk Pyjama Set, £16, is ideal for regulating your temperature, helping you to get a good night’s rest. You can also invest in a bedside fan: 7 Tesco 9in Desk Fan, £14, has two speed settings.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT BEDDING Adjust your bedding with the seasons for maximum comfort.

Avoid synthetic sheets as these tend to trap heat, making for an uncomfortable sleeping experience. Instead, go for soft breathable Egyptian cotton sheets, such as 2 Fox & Ivy 200TC Egyptian Cotton White Flat Sheet, £14 (single), £15 (double), £17 (king). A duvet with a lower tog rating is also a good idea for keeping body temperatures down. Check out 3 Fox & Ivy Supreme Comfort Duvet, £30 (double), £35 (king), £40 (super king).

To help deter dust mites, look at 4 Tesco Anti Allergy Duvet, £13 (single), £17 (double), £20 (king).

USE A RETRO ALARM CLOCK Avoid the temptation to use your smartphone as your alarm clock. ‘If your phone is only an arm’s length away, you’re more likely to scroll through emails and social media before bed,’

says Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert and founder of The Sleep Consultancy. ‘The cool bright light of a smartphone screen makes it much harder to go to sleep. This kind of stimulation wakes up your brain, making it harder to drift off.’ The solution? Get an analogue alarm clock and keep your phone out of the bedroom.

5 Jones Rise & Shine Matte Cream Alarm Clock, £6, will add a stylish vintage touch to the bedroom, as well as improving your sleep.

MATCH YOUR PILLOWS TO YOUR SLEEP POSITION Maximise comfort by choosing the right pillow setup. ‘The best sleeping position is one that keeps your head, neck and spine in a neutral position,’ says sleep coach Max Kirsten (thesleepcoach.co.uk). ‘If you’re a side sleeper, you need a pillow under your head and one in between your knees.

Back sleepers should pop a pillow under their knees to reduce stress on the spine, while front sleepers should go for a thin, flat pillow to reduce the strain on their head and neck.’ We recommend 6 Tesco Anti Allergy Soft Pillow two-pack, £7.

HELP YOUR BRAIN SWITCH OFF Keep a few relaxation tricks up your sleeve to help you drift off more quickly. Your first port of call: taking a bath. Studies show that a good soak in the evening raises your body temperature** and once you hop out you will cool down quickly, which mimics the natural drop in body temperature that happens when we fall asleep. If your mind is racing when you get into bed, write down your thoughts in a bedside notebook. ‘Clearing your mind of mental clutter helps to stop the chatter so you can get to sleep,’ says Neil.

BEDTIME SAVIOURS

The lavender d in i Garnier Organic Lavandin Facial Oil 30ml, £12, will have you ÂÉ «Â£ É «Â ÂÉ ã«Á .

Fitness tips 1

Don’t sweat it Personal trainer Gemma Yates shares her exper t tips on how to exercise safely when the temperature rises…

Ask the expert: Exercising in the heat Getting outside in the fresh air is one of the joys of a British summer.

But when the mercury is rising, you need to take a few precautions.

STAY HYDRATED ‘Even if you don’t feel thirsty, try to drink some water every 15 minutes. Take small sips rather than big gulps, which can make you feel queasy. Adding electrolyte tablets to water can help to avoid dehydration when it’s really hot. Try Sis. Go Hydro Hydration Tablets, £7.’

PHOTOGRAPHY IAN SKELTON PROP STYLING GILL RIDDELL

SLOW IT DOWN ‘I recommend LISS (Low Intensity Steady State) cardio, such as swimming, cycling or jogging, as a safe way to burn calories in the heat. Just don’t push yourself too hard! If interval training is your thing – where you alternate high-intensity workouts with low-intensity ones – it’s crucial to relax your routine. Exercising in higher temperatures puts extra stress on the body, so you need to adjust the intensity

6

accordingly. Reduce the working phase and extend the recovery phase. You’ll still feel the burn.’

TIME IT RIGHT ö «Û Ûã 㨫£ «Â 㨠morning or in the evening after sunset. We all know it’s not good to be out in the midday sun and it can make exercising feel seriously tough. Plus, you’re more likely to get dehydrated.’

DRESS TO STAY COOL ‘Get clever with your kit to avoid overheating. Look for sweat-wicking materials such as bamboo, cotton and nylon, and ô » ÷ Û ÷Éè  㠸 É Û you warm up. You’d be surprised at how much your clothes can ã ÷Éè É ÷ Û «»«ã÷ ãÉ work out in the heat.

TOP OF THE CROPS The British weather can be ver y unpredictable. Find out what that means for our farmers and how we can make the most of a sudden glut of produce

D

id you know a third of all food is wasted?* That can’t be right when one in nine people in the world is going hungry.

Food waste also has an impact on the environment – it causes 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions.* Tesco has no time for waste and is working in partnership with its suppliers to tackle the issue farm 114

to fork. But growing crops is about the weather – and extremes in weather can create a glut. What happens to this extra produce, known as crop flushes?

We chat to Alastair Brooks, farmer and chairman of Berry Gardens, and cherry grower Paul Mansfield about crop flushes and the benefits for us.

REAL LIVING | COMMUNITY

WORDS RHONA MERCER PHOTOGRAPHY CHRIS BLOTT *Source: FAO

HOW DO YOU KNOW A FLUSH IS COMING? ‘In terms of strawberries, we’re reliant on the weather forecast,’ says Alastair. ‘Once we know what the weather is going to be like, we can tell Tesco how much produce to expect.’

For Paul, it’s not so straightforward. ‘Cherries are a difficult crop to predict,’ he says. ‘Cherry growers have to deal with a natural phenomenon called the “drop”. This is when trees naturally shed some of their green cherries, as they’re unable to support all the fruit until it becomes red. It’s nature’s way of ensuring only the best fruit survives.’

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE EXTRA CROPS? ‘We put together 1kg and 600g boxes of strawberries, which Tesco sells at a lower price,’ says Alastair. And thanks to the Perfectly Imperfect range,

‘

WHAT IS A CROP FLUSH? A crop flush is when a farm produces more food than planned, due to unpredictable growing conditions.

‘We stagger the production of our strawberries as much as possible, but the weather has a habit of doing odd things,’ says Alastair. ‘If we have a period of cold weather, it will slow the ripening process, but a few days of warm weather will speed it up and give us a crop flush.’

Paul adds, ‘Long daylight hours, coupled with cool nights, means that our trees produce lots of fruit and leave us with a lot of ready-to-pick cherries in a concentrated period of time, usually over a week or so.’

‘

When there’s a crop flush we put together 1kg boxes of strawberries and Tesco takes them straight away Alastair Brooks, farmer and chairman of Berry Gardens

there’s always a place for the less pretty fruit to go!

‘At the end of the harvest, the strawberries may be a bit smaller, but they’re still delicious!’ says Alastair.

Paul adds, ‘When we get a cherry crop flush, Tesco offers larger packs, perfect for picnics and barbecues, and even better value for money.

This support for growers is vital to maintain quality and minimise waste.’

WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE? Reducing waste is the aim for both Tesco and farmers. ‘We used to grow strawberries on the ground and 25% of our crop would be damaged by wind, birds and other animals,’ says Alastair. ‘Now we grow our crops in tunnels and have reduced waste to 4%.’

With Tesco and the farmers’ ongoing commitment to make the most of crop flushes, there’s a real drive to maximise production and minimise waste, with a positive outcome for all.

W

e love being outside in summer. But while you’ll be protected by suncream and insect repellent, have you considered your pet’s health? Flea numbers explode in summer and a single flea can lay 50 eggs a day, meaning an infestation can take hold quickly.

‘Prevention really is better than cure,’ says Geoffrey Guyot, a vet and Frontline brand technical adviser. ‘It can take three months to get rid of fleas, so it’s vital to make sure your pets aren’t bringing them in.’

One in four cats and one in six dogs in the UK has fleas at any given time**

Myth buster You DO have to worry about fleas and ticks in urban areas – they’re just as common as in the countryside.

There ARE fleas in winter; they can live on your pet or in your home, so protect against them all year round.

Fleas DON’T only live on pets. Eggs, larvae and pupae can infest carpets and upholstered furniture.

WHAT’S THE RISK? Fleas and ticks make your cat or dog uncomfortable but the pests pose bigger risks too.

Fleas can transmit tapeworms, and some tick-borne diseases are very serious. Geoffrey says, ‘Ticks transmit Lyme disease and babesiosis, which can be fatal to dogs.’

Frontline Plus not only kills fleas and ticks, it also stops flea eggs from hatching. So make treating your cat and dog with Frontline Plus part of your year-round routine.

Frontline Plus 3-pack for small (2 for £45)*, medium (2 for £45)* or large dogs (£33.95).

Frontline Plus 3s for cats (2 for £34)*.

Frontline Plus is only available at the Pharmacy counter in store.
