(Picture: Evening Standard)

Summer is the season of abundance — a time when the raw ingredients are so delicious they (generally) need little more than a light char and some artful assembly. As Jess Lea-Wilson, recipe creator and co-author of one of this summer’s most inspiring cookbooks (see below) says: “When it’s really hot outside, I want to eat something that requires so little effort that it’s barely a recipe — but still tastes absolutely more than the sum of its parts.”

Heatwave weather brings out the charlatan in all of us - but luckily, even the laziest of cooks will find something to make (or artfully assemble) in this crop of cookbooks.
