Kim's NY Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

This classic American-style cookie recipe comes courtesy of the fabulous Kim, star of the Greendale Accounts department! A keen baker, Kim often brings in home-cooked treats for us to share, making a day at the office just that bit sweeter… Her cookie recipe can be tailored to your own taste – simply use as it is, for vanilla-based cookies with your choice of chips, or add cocoa to give a chocolate base (see recipe for details). Makes 8

Barbecued Whole Bream with Lemon and Chilli Recipe

Greendale bream are supplied ready-trimmed, with the guts and heads removed, making this tasty recipe a doddle. We like to grill some seasonal veg alongside the fish - try asparagus spears, whole spring onions or runner beans - and it’s particularly good with our New Potato Skewers. Serves 4.

Mediterranean Sausage Plait

This recipe may seem a bit of a faff, but as soon as you get the hang of the ‘plaiting’ it’s really easy, and ready-made pastry and grilled peppers from a jar help to keep the prep and cooking times lower, too. Delicious hot or cold, we think this Plait would be great as part of a picnic – slice and wrap before you go, or take a board and knife and serve it up in situ. Serves 4-6.

Crab, Cheddar & Sweet Onion Quiche

Celebrate local crab at its wonderful best with this rich, delicious quiche. Serves 6-8.

BBQ Chicken Paella Recipe

Fancy a break from the usual bangers and burgers? This flavour-packed paella is cooked on the barbecue (though the recipe translates easily to stove-top cooking) for a deliciously different ‘al fresco’ dining experience! Serves 4-6.

BBQ Miso and Honey Glaze Aubergine Recipe

Sticky-sweet umami aubergine tastes great when cooked on the BBQ or under the grill! Serves 2 as a main dish or 4 as a side.

Devon Blue, Walnut & Nectarine Salad

Summer calls for a more relaxed way of cooking and eating, and this recipe is pretty flexible. You can tweak the dressing; substitute peaches, ripe pears or even figs for the nectarines; use any salad leaves and blue cheese you like (or choose goat’s cheese or feta); and swap the walnuts for toasted hazelnuts or almonds. As long as you have sweet, ripe fruit, full-flavoured cheese and some crunchy nuts for texture, it’ll work beautifully. Serves 2 generously.

Simple Barbecued Asparagus Recipe

While British asparagus is still available, there’s no nicer way to enjoy it than grilled quickly over coals and finishing with a quick, simple dressing – the spears turn a beautiful bright green in the heat, and the charcoal imparts smoky flavour and sweetness to each stem. Delicious! Serves 4 as a side dish.

Chicken & Bacon Salad Recipe

This hearty salad is packed with delicious Greendale Free-Range Chicken Breast and Greendale Smoked Streaky Bacon. Serves 4

Blueberry & Feta Salad Recipe

Fruit and cheese are a match made in heaven. This recipe pairs salty, crumbly Feta cheese with the tangy sweetness of ripe, fresh blueberries and the earthiness of fresh spinach leaves, lifted by bright mint and the satisfying crunch of savoury toasted almonds. Feel free to experiment with different soft cheeses, berries, leaves or nuts – it’s pretty hard to go wrong! Serves 2-3 as a main meal, 4-6 as part of a selection of salads.

Raspberry Trifle with Limoncello

Trifle is a classic treat and (helpfully) always taste better when made in advance. This version uses ready-made ingredients for speed, but tastes like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen – we won’t tell if you don’t! Serves 8.

BBQ Aubergine & Chickpea Salad

Packed with soft, smoky grilled aubergine and plump chickpeas, this hearty salad illustrates that veggie barbecue recipes are anything but dull. Serves 2-4.

Greendale Lobster with Lyonnaise Potatoes

Lobster with Lyonnaise Potatoes Recipe

This luxurious recipe is a real treat! You can make the Lyonnaise potatoes ahead of time if you like – assemble the potatoes in advance, up to the point of the oven cooking time, then refrigerate and just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to cook the lobster. Serves 4.

Raspberry Gin Mojito

There's never a bad time to enjoy a refreshing mojito, and while the classic version is always a favourite, we’re especially fond of adding a gin twist. The raspberry gin mojito is packed with flavour, made with Torbay Gin’s blood orange and raspberry-infused gin.

Peach Ripple Syllabub Recipe

Summer in a sundae dish, this fruity, creamy dream of a dessert is served with home-made lemon and almond biscuits for a pleasingly crisp contrast. Serves 4.

Oven-Baked Sea Bass

Delicious sea bass stars in this simple, healthy traybake. Packed full of sunny Mediterranean flavours, it’s great with a lemon-dressed green salad and a glass of your favourite vino. Serves 4.

Spatchcock Chicken & Lemon Garlic Butter

Spatchcocked chickens have a flattened shape, produced by removing the spine and opening out the bird. It’s still a whole chicken, with juicy, tender meat on-the-bone – and the flatter shape means it’s brilliant on the BBQ, too. Please note; you will need a barbecue with a lid for this recipe. Serves 4.

Sirloin Steak Salad with New Potatoes

This warm, hearty salad is quick and easy to put together – perfect for a mid-week meal. The steak and the potatoes can be barbecued for this recipe if wished (for handy tips see our guide Steak – a Barbecue Classic and our recipe for New Potato Skewers

Simple Steak Marinade

Worcestershire Sauce and garlic add ‘zing’ to this quick, easy-to-prepare marinade, designed to bring out the best in your barbecued beef steaks. You can use a ‘light’ Soy Sauce to keep salt levels down if preferred. Recipe sufficient to marinade 4 steaks.

Sausage and Potato Barbecue Skewers Recipe

This simple recipe is put together and partially cooked before it reaches the barbecue, so you won’t have to wait long for the skewers to be ready (if the weather is looking grim you can always cook the skewers indoors, under the grill). Serves 4-6.

Sausage and Couscous Salad Recipe

A hearty salad for warmer days. We’ve chosen our Beef and Black Pepper Sausages for this recipe, but you can swap in any sausages you like. Don’t be tempted to skimp on the herbs, as they really make the flavours come together. Serves 4.

Quick Lemony Crab Salad Recipe

Crab is in season in the UK from April until about November, so you can eat it all summer long! This simple recipe uses zesty lemon and the lightness of mayonnaise to complement the salty deliciousness of the crab meat. Serves 4.

Pork Souvlaki With Tzatziki Recipe

Based on a traditional Greek recipe, this tasty BBQ recipe may well have you reminiscing about island holidays in the sun… While we can’t promise a British summertime to rival the Med, we can offer flavours to transport your tastebuds to sunnier climes! Makes 4 servings.

White Fish with Canellini Puree & Pickled Radishes

Known for its firm, lean flesh and delicate taste, we’ve used hake in this recipe - but you can use any white fish fillets as a more sustainable alternative to cod. Here, it’s paired with a warm garlicky bean purée and some bright pickled radishes for extra crunch. Serves 4.

White Fish Shawarma With Quick Onion Pickle Recipe

Make a real meal of it with healthy white fish marinaded in shawarma spices and served in your own home-made flatbreads with a quick home-made pickle (we’ve used pollock, but hake or any other firm-fleshed white fish will work equally well). You might get a little bit messy when you eat them, but that’s definitely part of the charm! Can be cooked on the hob or over a BBQ. Serves 4.

Tomato & Ricotta Galette

Tomatoes are at their sunshine-packed best right now; this gorgeous vegetarian recipe comes from The Tomato Stall (our UK tomato supplier, based on the Isle of Wight), and really makes the most of their beautiful mixed-colour mini plum tomatoes. Serves 6.

Summer Chicken Salad

Made with our delicious free-range chicken, hearty grains, fresh herbs and a yoghurty dressing, this healthy recipe shows that salads can really satisfy – best of all, it doesn’t take long to rustle up, making it an ideal midweek meal when time is tight. Serves 4.

Pan Bagnat Recipe

Pan Bagnat is an impressive-looking centrepiece for a lazy summer lunch, and makes a great picnic, too; you can slice and re-wrap it before you go, or take a breadboard and knife and slice it when you’re ready. Serves 4-6.

No Smoke Without Fire Pork & Nduja Burger

This summertime spin on the old staple ‘burger in a bun’ uses Nduja (a spicy, soft and deeply savoury sausage from southern Italy) to add a delicious kick to classic Greendale pork mince. Makes 4 burgers.

No Smoke Without Fire: Nduja-Stuffed Trout

This is a great ‘hands-on’ sharing dish for a summer’s evening – it’s a really nice way to cook trout, as the fish takes on subtle smokiness from the charcoal, and the spicy, savoury nduja adds real depth of flavour, too. Serves 2-4.

No Smoke Without Fire Beef Skewers

There’s a little bit of work involved with this recipe, though most of the time needed is for marinating the beef (allow at least 6 hours, and preferably 24 hours if you can). Rich in flavour, the end result is well worth the wait! Serves 2-4?

Monkfish Bourride with Aïoli Recipe

Originally from the Provence region of France, this fish stew is flavoured with a wonderfully aromatic garlic sauce, aïoli – if you have any extra aioli, it’s delicious spread on crusty bread. We’ve used monkfish here, but most firm-fleshed white fish would also be fine. Serves 4.

Mackerel, Orange & Rocket Salad Recipe

Just the ticket for warmer weather, this simple, healthy salad makes a perfect light meal for two. Serves 2.

Lobster Sourdough Salad Recipe

Made with luscious fresh lobster, crisp croutons and a deliciously different dressing, this special salad makes ‘eating your greens’ a little more decadent! Serves 2 as a main course or 4 as a starter.

Lamb Kofte with Tomato & Onion Salad Recipe

Based on a traditional Turkish dish, these delicious skewers are a lovely, summery way to enjoy our lean minced lamb - paired with a zesty, easily-made tomato salad, they’re also pretty healthy, too. You can cook these kofte on a barbecue, rather than a griddle, if you like (be sure to get the charcoal really hot beforehand, and check the kofte are cooked through before serving). Makes 4 skewers.

Katsu Chicken Burgers

Loosely based on the flavours of Japanese katsu curry, this simple and surprisingly healthy recipe doesn’t take long to put together, making it perfect for midweek meals and ‘what shall we have?’ moments. Makes 4 burgers.
