Summer recipe inspiration from Sainsbury's
Sainsbury's
Whether it's to cheer on Team GB or just because there's a hot weekend on the horizon, getting the family together can be a bit stressful to cater for, particularly if there's going to be a crowd. It doesn't have to be this way though. Once of the best ways to take the pain out of organising such events is to plan a simple menu that can be prepared almost entirely before the guests arrive. This means you'll spend more time with the family and less time in the kitchen, and that's got to be a good thing.
Sainsbury's has created seven delicious menu plans especially for summer entertaining. All the recipes are simple to prepare, easy on the pocket and absolutely delicious. Here's what's on offer...
