Panzanella – a Tuscan salad
Make this salad for a braai or when entertaining. Panzanella is a traditional Tuscan tomato and bread salad. This AMC version is so refreshing and very moreish. Remember to only use a medium temperature when frying the croutons, to ensure that these little chunks of bread toast to a deliciously light golden-brown – you definitely don’t want to burn them.

Strawberry & vanilla jam
When it is berry season and you have them in abundance – make jam! My go-to is this strawberry jam recipe. Jam is normally very sweet, but you don’t need as much sugar in this recipe. The lemon juice helps to set the jam and the vanilla pod adds a wonderful flavour, making it more than just jam for toast or buttered bread. It goes well with French toast, waffles, crumpets and even for breakfast or dessert with yoghurt, fresh fruit and nuts. Spread it between two layers of butter cake or use it as a sauce for pudding.
