The following recipe first appeared in Summer Table by Jodie Blight.  She has also provided the image to accompany the post.

Last week, as part of the Christmas Gift Guide I shared a cookbook called Summer Table.  Jodie has also agreed to share a recipe from the book here today.  Paul and I gave this recipe a whirl on the weekend and it was delicious.  It was super easy to make and perfect for the hot weather.  To purchase Jodie’s book Summer Table and keep up to date with any new projects (I’ve heard that there is another cookbook on it’s way) head to her website!
