QUICK BITES

Make the summer last longer with our tried-and-tested al fresco favourites

Filippo Berio rosemary and sea salt baked crostini

Filippo Berio is known for its olive oils but this summer we can’t stop eating its new, moreish crostinis. Satisfyingly crunchy with just the right amount of salt and herbs. Great on their own or for dipping. £1.99/100g, Sainsbury’s

Gail’s beetroot, goat’s cheese and lentil salad

Salad pots are our lunchtime saviours. Dig into this one, with tangy beetroot and cool goat’s cheese, for lots of fresh flavours. £5/300g, available from Gail’s bakeries across London, and via online delivery. gailsbread.co.uk

Northern Bloc ice cream

Grab a spoon and dig into a pot of ice cream made from rich Yorkshire milk. It’s soft enough to scoop straight from the freezer – choose between chocolate and sea salt, hazelnut and tonka bean, and ginger caramel. £4.50/500ml, Waitrose

Azada extra-virgin olive oil with oranges

This Spanish extra-virgin olive oil is pressed with oranges, so includes all of their zesty natural oils. Add to a simple salad dressing or use to marinate fish. £8.95/250ml, lunya.co.uk

Waitrose world deli gochujang hot smoked mackerel

Add this mackerel to a salad or eat straight from the packet. The gochujang adds a slight sweetness, which is offset by the marinade of salted black beans. £3/90g, Waitrose

Booja-Booja hazelnut chocolate truffle ice cream

Booja-Booja’s rich truffles never cease to amaze us, and now the clever people behind this dairy-free brand have gone and put them into an ice cream. The hazelnut chocolate truffle was our favourite with its creamy texture and nutty flavour. Winner! £5.99/500ml, Waitrose and ocado.com

Holy Moly devilishly hot guacamole

Holy Moly’s hot guacamole will save you the effort of making your own and (trust us) no one will notice the difference. It has a good chunky texture, with a kick of chilli. Pop in your picnic bag for on-the-hoof dipping or spread onto toast for a speedy brunch. £2.79/150g, ocado.com
