Bank holiday recipes
Making the most of long spring and summer weekends with these delicious bank holiday recipes, from picnic feasts and barbecues to fruity desserts and easy baking.
- Barbecue inspiration: Entertaining? Cheeseburgers, chicken skewers and corn on the cob always go down well when feeding a crowd. Try this grilled fruit salad and Pimm’s-glazed chicken for something different.
- Al fresco family favourites: We’ve got all the top traditional picks for eating outside, such as quiche lorraine, potato salad and tomato pasta salad. Add a holiday vibe with these chicken tinga tacos or fritto misto, irresistible Italian-style battered seafood.
- Make-ahead desserts: This watermelon and white chocolate pavlova, showstopping gin and tonic cheesecake and epic strawberry trifle get our vote.
- Easy picnic ideas: Roast beef sandwiches, scotch eggs, shortbread biscuits and homemade lemonade make for a delicious spread.
- Fun baking: This simple eton mess traybake is a winner. Fancy a challenge? Try baker Nicola Lamb’s french toast cinnamon buns or make your own sourdough pizza. Check out our brunch recipes too and make the most of those bank holiday lie-ins.
