Summer is a great time to get in the kitchen. There are so many fantastic ingredients to take advantage of and the whole vibe of the season just gets us motivated to cook up a storm. So sit back and get ready to be inspired with the best in August ingredients and recipes…
In August, Mediterranean-style dishes, laced with olive oil and Mediterranean-style veggies, are ideal for any kitchen table. Aubergine, juicy tomatoes, courgette and artichoke are all ideal for featuring in your main dish. When it comes to the meat, opt for lamb – the perfect complement to the Mediterranean dish and a great choice for summer.
Other meats and seafood you might like to consider include pigeon, quail, cod, crab and lobster. All equally delicious and suitable for any fine feast!
Of course, a side salad doesn’t go amiss either. Cos lettuce, spinach, potatoes and radishes are all in season and taste great when enhanced with some summer herbs.
When it coms to your desserts, fruit is still the way to go. Ripe blackberries and plums help to create the most delicious pies, while other berries, like strawberries and raspberries are perfect for those pavlovas and cream teas.
With the bank holiday well on its way, we thought we’d offer up some seasonal party recipes this month. Read on to be inspired…

A SLEEK, CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN WITH A T-SHAPED ISLAND
When a client decided to replace the kitchen in his Ribble Valley home, he approached Kitchen Design Centre and Blackburn Showroom Manager Will Hustler after a recommendation from his business partner.
“I’m delighted with the look of the kitchen but also how functional it is. Will really thought about how the kitchen would work from a cooking perspective.”

What a transformation by Simon at our Barrowford showroom. SWIPE for the before and after.
Our client chose the lovely (finger print proof)matt Umbra and black velvet oak doors with striking Calacatta quartz worktops. The Umbra was chosen to coordinate with their existing dining set.
Simon from our Barrowford showroom ran the project with Graham from GCL Developments @gcldevelopments. All fitted while the customer were on holiday for a month.
Matching utility with wash basket storage, maximum floor to ceiling units and dog wash sink. The design was to open up the space and make all the rooms work as one family space, with defined areas/zones.
