The summer season sees us craving lighter dishes, full of flavour, mirroring that we’d expect to indulge in while holidaying in the Mediterranean. It’s time to say goodbye to heavy roasts and those spring stews and hello to exotic salads, vibrant ingredients and lighter bites.
When it comes to early summer vegetables it’s time to embrace the courgette, radish and cavolo nero. The sweet crunch of carrots also make a welcome addition to your June recipes, as do more exciting ingredients like fennel, artichokes and kohl rabi.
Of course, the start of the summer season wouldn’t be complete without a light salad. Lamb’s lettuce in particular is good for this season and adds interest to your dish with its distinctive and tangy flavour.
The June dish is also all about those little extras – we’re talking about herbs and leaves that add all that much-loved flavour and make a great replacement for winter spices. Mint, oregano, parsley, sage, sorrel and tarragon are all worth experimenting with and can make a huge difference to a relatively ordinary dish.
Of course, with the summer sun out and encouraging plant growth there’s also an abundance of fruit to enjoy. Watermelon, strawberries and cherries are our favourites and great to enjoy post- dinner or in a refreshing mid-morning smoothie.
While meat and poultry is still very much enjoyed by many in the summer it’s really the best time for seafood. Sea bass, trout, and mackerel all come into season around June and bring with them tons of flavour and health benefits. Easy to season and great for that summer barbecue, it’s well worth swapping that beef burger for a piece of succulent, grilled fish. There really is no better time to enjoy it!
Neff have wowed us once again with culinary delights that are just perfect for June. Take some inspiration from their latest recipes and chef up a treat using your top-of-the-range Neff appliances for a feast your family will remember.

The kitchen details that make everyday life feel a little easier 🙌🏼
We positioned the dishwasher right beside the drawers where we keep our plates, bowls and cutlery, and honestly… it’s made unloading so much quicker!
It might seem like a small detail when planning your kitchen, but getting the layout right can make such a difference to how your kitchen works day to day.
One to remember if you’re planning a kitchen 👀

STUNNING TRANSFORMATION
Our clients chose Kitchen Design Centre because they wanted a dedicated expert to lead the way, rather than a mere supplier of parts
They required a team to guide them from the first spark of an idea to the final finishing touches.
The brief presented a unique challenge – transforming a blank-canvas garage into a space that celebrated the charm of a traditional barn conversion. The room, featuring expansive wooden beams, demanded a thoughtful design.
More than just a kitchen, the clients required a family-oriented living hub with a dining area tailored for entertaining.
Working with Simon, the Manager at our Barrowford showroom, provided total peace of mind. He spent time listening and meticulously exploring various layouts until the vision felt just right.
The result is a traditionally-styled kitchen filled with modern gadgets. The breathtaking Dark Blue Shaker cabinetry serves as a bold anchor, paired with light-toned units to accentuate the warmth of the timber beams and flooring.
