Sticky baked shallot and wild mushroom quiche

This deep-filled quiche is rich and luxurious, with a softly set, almost wobbly centre.

Pea, cucumber and mint chilled soup

I am a huge fan of a refreshing, cool soup in summer, and there’s nothing that does it as well as this fresh concoction of green vegetables and mint. This makes a pretty starter and can be served in a small bowl or a large glass.

Slow-roasted chicken lollipops with espelette pepper and herbs

Chicken drumsticks are always a win for a picnic to be eaten by the sea or poolside, especially if they have been slow-roasted so that the meat all but falls off the bone. Always buy the best chicken you can find - free-range or organic tastes so much better. Marinating the chicken overnight gets you extra brownie points but is not essential - although do try to leave it for a couple of hours.

Provençal panzanella

A great, easy-to-assemble summer dish that makes good use of leftover bread and is full of colourful vegetables. This is lovely as part of a big lunch table or for a family barbecue to accompany grilled meats.

Mini pan bagnats with fresh tuna

The pan bagnat is the typical sandwich of the south of France. You’ll find it in most boulangeries, in sandwich kiosks by the sea - even being distributed by dinghy if you are out sailing. It’s a satisfying Niçoise salad to go, in its own round bap, and a real casse-croûte, which is the slang word for a quick meal. I make these luxe versions with fresh tuna, but you can of course use the sustainably caught tinned kind. Part of the fun is that the vinaigrette soaks into the chunky bread. Trust me, eating this with a salty breeze blowing in your face is just the best!

Saffron risotto with confit tomatoes

One of the most prized products of the upper Var region of Provence is the elusive saffron, locally known as l’or rouge. Harvested in autumn from the flowering crocus plant, the stems are handpicked then dried. I love to flaunt the spice in this vibrant risotto with slow-cooked sweet cherry tomatoes.

Portable potato salad with anchovies and quail’s eggs

The key to a great potato salad is in the double dressing. While the potatoes are still warm, toss them in the lemony vinaigrette so the flesh soaks up all the seasoning, then dress them a second time to achieve the creamy and tangy finished flavour. This is a great portable picnic salad, no knife needed, and you can take a tin of anchovies in the basket to drape over the top when serving. You can also do the same with the quail’s eggs, keeping them separate and letting others do the peeling work.

Cantaloupe melon and lime granita

Simple and refreshing, this is summer in a melon bowl. The perfect end to a relaxed lunch together or as an afternoon treat by the pool.
