This classic salad easily transforms into a lunch wrap. Swap tuna for cooked salmon or chicken if you have leftovers. Savoury Greek yogurt spread and eggs provide an extra boost of protein.
Hard-cooked versus hard-boiled eggs
What’s the difference? For tender, less rubbery eggs, hard-cook eggs. Fill saucepan with water and add eggs. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes. To hard-boil eggs, boil for 8 minutes. Drain, cool, and peel.

Strawberry Carpaccio
This simple dessert celebrates the glory that is the summer strawberry. Don’t feel you have to stick to strawberries here; swapping them for ripe peaches would also make for a stunning ending to any meal. What to gild the lily with? Add a dollop of whipped coconut cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Flower power Orange blossom water (also known as orange flower water) is produced by water distillation of the blossoms of a bitter orange tree. Just like rose water, a little goes a long way. So, take care and use just a drop or two, tasting as you go so as not to overwhelm but rather to complement the other flavours in a dish.
