Serves 12

Stuffed Yellow Peppers with Pilau Rice, Currants and Toasted Pine Nuts

Make the peppers ahead for an easy dish when entertaining. Stuffing vegetables with a mixture of rice, nuts and dried fruit adds plenty of flavour and a very Mediterranean element.

Serves 6

Hummus Bi Tahini

If you want to make the proper authentic version of this you'll need to hunt out some tahini paste, which is available at supermarkets and health-food shops.

Serves 4

Char-grilled Aubergine and Roasted Tomato Salad with Feta Cheese

As Delia says, bread dipped into fruity olive oil and tomato juices is food of the gods. But roast the tomatoes first and it’s even better! This easy salad is the perfect thing for a hot summer’s day.

Serves 6

Chilled Spanish Gazpacho

This is a truly beautiful soup for serving ice-cold during the summer and it's particularly refreshing if we're lucky enough to have hot weather.

Serves 2

Marinated Halloumi Cheese Kebabs with Herbs

If you're cooking for vegetarians, these wonderful kebabs will go down a storm. The halloumi cheese is firm enough to withstand grilling, and combines beautifully with the other flavours in this recipe.

Serves 3-4

Cevapcici

These are delicious little minced sausages threaded on to skewers.

Serves 4

Char-grilled Squid with Chilli Jam

We have a tradition with some close friends that involves always having Easter Sunday lunch at Yetman's restaurant, in Holt in Norfolk, where Alison and Peter Yetman cook and serve my absolute favourite kind of food.

Serves 4

Barbecued Sardines with Summer Herb Sauce

One of the best things about summer has to be barbecuing - and sardines lend themselves to this method of cooking. Finish them off with a luscious herby sauce for a true taste of the Mediterranean.
