Nigella Lawson’s Ultimate Summer Sunday Lunch Menu

by Julia Pal

published on 17 June 2014

Nigella Lawson knows how to do summer food like no-one else. Her elegant, relaxed style is perfect for this time of year, when the sun comes out, the pace of life slows down and we all want to enjoy laid-back weekend feasts with our family and friends.

To celebrate the re-release of her classic cookbooks as a series of stylish new editions, Nigella picked out three recipes which, when put together, make up her Ultimate Summer Sunday Lunch Menu. Visually stunning, and packed with Mediterranean-inspired flavours, these are dishes to celebrate and linger over in the heat of a sunny summer afternoon.

Starter:

Red-Leaf, Fig and Serrano Ham Salad
