Where’s the best place to dine in the sun?

I have fond memories of the Amalfi Coast in 2010. We ate beautiful seasonal produce: tomato and mozzarella salad. It was magical; a terrace under vine leaves, and everything was perfect — the tomato was ripe, juicy and the right temperature, the mozzarella had beautiful acidity and sweetness with the buffalo milk, plus there were green olives and lots of basil.

What other summer dishes do you enjoy?

Pissaladière [a Genoan take on pizza] and Greek salad — simple ingredients, always served with grilled or barbecued fish.

What do you like to drink on a hot day?

Perrier and fresh lime, or a glass of rosé.

What are your favourite summer ingredients?

Tomatoes, in a simple starter salad or gazpacho, or roasted tomatoes Provençal — a great garnish to a roast chicken served in the sun, with a glass of rosé. To finish, I’d make a tomato and strawberry sorbet, finished with olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar.
