In sweltering summer, turning on the stove is about as appealing as stepping into a sauna, but (wo)man can’t live on ice-cream alone, so here are my current favourite no-cook cooking ideas. For sensational salads, mix the season’s bounty with punchy flavours, such as kimchi, that you can pull straight out of the fridge and proteins, such as tofu, that you don’t have to cook. Salmon is another smart choice: buy a good-quality fillet and you can make it go a long way by turning it into tartare or ceviche or by curing it, which is more of a doddle than you might think.
