That first bite says it all — salty, smooth, creamy butter, piled high on a thick slice of crusty bread or melting into a freshly baked croissant.

A fluffy flatbread, filled with crispy bacon, smooth cream cheese, coriander, and a spoonful of sweet, spicy chilli jam. Bacon sandwiches are already a thing of beauty, but this recipe takes the classic bacon sarnie to the next level.

Summer especially lends itself to this kind of eating. When the heat makes full-on cooking feel like a bit much, having a few flavour-packed bites to graze on is ideal.

It’s zingy, fizzy, and wonderfully easy. The kind of drink that makes everything feel just a little bit more like summer.
