Previous Recipes of the Day: July

Sunday 6 July

Fresh Fruit and Mint Vinaigrette

This recipe was devised by the late and much-missed restaurateur Peter Langan, who served it in his original restaurant, Odin's, on warm summer evenings. It's unusual, but really sharpens the appetite for something more substantial to follow.

Saturday 5 July

Chicken with Sherry Vinegar and Tarragon Sauce

This is my adaptation of a classic French dish called poulet au vinaigre and is very simple to make.

Friday 4 July

All-American Half-pounders

There are several kinds of hamburgers, but few people, I suspect, have tasted the real thing, which consists of good steak chopped and tenderised, formed into burgers and grilled on charcoal.

Thursday 3 July

Thai Crab Salad with Mango

This is a low-fat variation of Thai Grilled Beef Salad with Grapes. In Thailand they serve it with pomelo, which is very similar to grapefruit. When they’re not available, I use mango, but you could ring the changes with grapes or small segments of pink grapefruit.

Wednesday 2 July

Frozen Chocolate Bananas

Sounds odd, doesn't it? But you'll believe it when you try it. These are truly sensational – better than ice cream or a sorbet. First you bite into crisp frozen chocolate and then meet the beautifully fragrant iced banana. Heaven.
