Welcome to

August

As a child who grew up reading The Famous Five and Milly-Molly-Mandy books, I had a rather idealised view of what makes a great picnic.

Boiled eggs played a key role, along with lashings of ginger beer.

Infuenced next by Jane Austen dramas like Pride and Prejudice and Emma (in which eating outdoors involves lugging seven-course feasts and matching crockery halfway up a mountain), I thought that any picnic worth its salt needed a week’s preparation and a horse to get everything to the perfect spot. These days, my favourite picnics are those fun impromptu meals that taste all the better for being outdoors. From fsh and chips with gin and tonics, to soft cheeses, meats and breads, it’s all about the location, the company and, if you’re very blessed, the sunshine. Whatever kind of picnic you prefer, you’ll fnd lots of great ideas in this issue.

Responsible Retail from We’re committed to looking after the people who work in the factories making our clothes in countries like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka...

At George, where our clothes are made and how the people who work for our suppliers are treated is very important to us. So, as well as being committed to ofering unbeatable quality and value, we follow a programme we call ‘Responsible Retail’ throughout the world.

OUR FACTORIES

Both in the UK and in other countries such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, we carefully monitor standards of health and safety in our factories. We also want the people who make our products to be treated fairly.

Through programmes and partnerships we have helped to improve training, access to education and childcare. And we’re also working on other ways to help improve their lives, including providing female workers with health education, support and advice.

Hi, I’m Suborna. I’m 24 and I’ve now been working in a factory just outside Dhaka in Bangladesh for fve years, making clothes for George.

With training, my sewing skills have developed. I was made a team leader four months ago, and now my salary has increased. I’d like to get married in the future, so it means I can save for that as well as sending money home.

We’ve launched a new website so you can learn all about where and how our clothes are made – and get a glimpse into the lives of the people who make them. Check it out at george.com/sourcedbygeorge

Catch of the day Fishing of the Cornish coast, skipper Peter Bullock, from our fsh supplier Riddlers, uses traditional ring nets and modern sonar equipment to catch only the best quality sardines. We went to meet him…

FACT FILE

l Family-run company Riddlers

is based in Newton Abbot, Devon. l Riddlers goes back to the 1920s.

In 2009, it was taken over by Ocean Fish, founded by father and son Andrew and Edward Lakeman in 1989. This family fshing company now employs 80 people. They’ve been working with us since 2009. l Newlyn, the main Cornish harbour Riddlers uses, handles vessels from trawlers to small mackerel day boats, like the Resolute and The Asthore (the largest ring netter in the UK). l Riddlers holds the MSC Chain of Custody – this means the company meets the environmental standard for sustainable fsh.

In Cornwall, fshing is very much a way of life. Every day in the main fshing season, boats set of from harbours all around the Cornish coast with fsherman on board using their years of experience to help them fnd the very best fsh you can catch.

The market is very demanding. The South-west has some of the UK’s best fsh restaurants – from Rick Stein’s fsh empire in Padstow, to Nathan Outlaw’s at St Enodoc Hotel in Rock – and, like us, top chefs are looking for a supply of fresh, great-quality fsh.

There’s a long history of sardine fshing in Cornwall – in fact there was a pilchard fshery there as far back as the 1800s (pilchards and sardines are the same fsh, with diferent names).

Then, the traditional way of catching sardines was labour intensive and the fsh was often poor quality.

All that has changed. The stock

18 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | AUGUST 2014

Riddlers used to fsh out of Mevagissey harbour, above of Cornish sardines is healthy, sustainable and accredited, and it’s a brilliant product. And we’re delighted to be working with Riddlers, the company which supplies our sardines, using modern techniques to bring fshing into the 21st century.

But there’s a lot that happens before that fsh lands on your plate…

PRODUCERS

‘Sardines are becoming so popular that we’re catching as much as 20 tonnes of fsh in one evening’

‘We have immense pride in what we do – we only want good quality fsh that are the right size’

THE SKIPPER

Peter Bullock has been fshing for sardines for Riddlers in Cornwall for nine years, skippering small fshing boats – the Resolute and the slightly larger Asthore – with his two-man crew.

‘Fishing for Cornish sardines is all about quality. We start fshing in mid-July and the season goes on to January or February. Sardines follow the warm water so they’re never too far out to sea. We mainly fsh out of Newlyn, in Mount’s Bay near St Michael’s Mount.

On the hunt for fsh ‘Usually, we leave the harbour an hour before dusk. In the daytime, the fsh are spread out and in deeper water.

At night, they come nearer the surface and it’s the best time to catch them.

‘We’ll search around for an hour and establish where the best sardines are. It’s made easier by using sonar on the boat – this electronic gadget looks ahead and gives us a picture of where the shoals of fsh are on a screen so we know where to shoot the nets, just as it gets dark.

‘We use “ring nets” to catch sardines. It’s a more responsible and sustainable method – there’s no “bycatch” so when we’re fshing for sardines we get just sardines. A ring net is a length of net that we shoot

into the water in a circle around the fsh. The bottom of the net is closed and we haul it back in so the fsh are alongside the boat, before taking a sample of the fsh to check the quality and size. We have immense pride in what we do – we only want good quality fsh that are the right size.

‘As we fsh so close to the shore (sometimes only 10-20 minutes out to sea), if we shoot our nets at 6pm and get a good catch, we’ll be back in the harbour by 9 o’clock and unloaded by midnight. Sardines are becoming so popular that we’re catching as much as 20 tonnes of fsh in one evening.

‘When the fsh comes over the side, it’s brilliant quality. We want to keep it in as good a condition as possible. It’s kept on ice until we get back to the harbour, before being sent to Riddlers’ factory where they process the fsh.

Within 48 hours, that fsh will be on the shelves in Asda.’

20 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | AUGUST 2014

‘Sardines seem to be back in fashion now, and it’s easy to see why,’ says Emily. ‘They’re an oily fsh, packed with omega-3 so they’re nutritious and good for you. When buying sardines, look for ones with clear, shiny eyes and scales, and bright red gills – that means they’re really fresh.

‘If you’ve never cooked sardines before, preparing them is easy if you keep it simple – you don’t need to do much to them. Grill or oven-bake them with a little olive oil, or use them in a salad niçoise instead of tuna. I also love them as part of a simple barbecue on the beach – perfect for summer.

‘And the way sardines are caught now is so much better for the environment. Fishermen used to have to follow the Common Fisheries Policy, introduced in the 1970s, which limited the number of days they spent at sea and set quotas on how much fsh they could catch. This meant they threw any dead fsh back in the sea.

‘Then, in January 2014, a ban on “discarding” fsh was introduced.

Riddlers’ fshermen’s ring netting method allows them to just catch sardines – there’s little risk of catching other fsh by mistake.’

Emily’s favourite sardine recipe...

SARDINES WITH MUSTARD & LEMON BUTTER Make cuts in the fesh of both sides of cleaned sardines. Put in a greased ovenproof dish. Mix some butter with Dijon mustard and lemon juice, and spread evenly over the sardines.

Bake in the oven at 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 for 20mins. Sprinkle with chopped fat-leaf parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Salmon in tarragon vinegar with carrots in brown butter

SERVES 4 READY IN 1HR PRICE PER SERVING £2.18

Nathan Outlaw

Cornwall-based chef Nathan Outlaw owns four restaurants that specialise in seafood, one of which has two Michelin stars.

His latest book, Nathan Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen (Quadrille), is out now.

‘Poaching fsh in vinegar isn’t a new idea – they’ve been doing it in French cooking for years.

Salmon is a good fsh to use as its slightly oily fesh will stay moist.

The tarragon vinegar cuts through the richness of the salmon and butter, too.’

2 large carrots, peeled 8 small Chantenay carrots 200ml white wine 200ml white wine vinegar 50g caster sugar 10 tarragon sprigs 125g salted butter 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped 4 x 120-125g salmon fillets 2tsp chopped tarragon 1 Cut the large carrots into ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Put in a pan with the wine, vinegar, 400ml water, sugar, tarragon sprigs and a pinch of sea salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2mins. Take of the heat and leave to infuse for 30mins.

2 Meanwhile, to make the brown butter, line a sieve with a sheet of kitchen paper and stand it over a bowl. Cut the butter into

24 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | AUGUST 2014

small pieces and heat in a light coloured pan (you need to be able to see the colour change), over a medium-low heat until it bubbles. Lower the heat and continue to cook, stirring, until the butter turns brown and gets a nutty aroma (this will take about 4-5mins). Don’t let it burn. Immediately remove from the heat and pour into the lined sieve to strain.

3 Add the whole Chantenay carrots to a pan containing enough cold salted water to just cover them. Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 10mins until almost cooked.

Drain and return to the pan.

Add 50ml of the brown butter and the garlic to the carrots and warm over a low heat. Season and remove from the heat.

4 Drain the carrot ribbons, reserving their cooking liquor. Put the liquor in a wide pan, bring to a simmer and add the fsh fllets, making sure they are fully covered. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and leave to stand for 10mins; the fsh will continue cooking. Check if it’s done by lifting out a chunk and putting a knife into the thickest point for 5secs.

Then place the knife against the back of your wrist; it should feel warm.

5 To make the dressing, mix 25ml of the poaching liquor with 50ml of the brown butter. Warm through and add the chopped tarragon.

6 To serve, place a portion of salmon on a warm plate.

Divide the carrots between the plates and spoon over the dressing.

Salmon en croûte

A regular on TV shows including Saturday Kitchen and Great British Menu, celebrity chef Nick Nairn also runs restaurants and two cookery schools in Scotland.

‘I’m a huge fan of salmon – it’s such a good base for family meals. The nicest thing about this classic dish is the contrast of textures – crunchy pastry, soft spinach and meltingly tender salmon.’

SERVES 6 READY IN 1HR 10MINS PRICE PER SERVING £2.23 1tbsp olive oil 1 garlic clove, crushed 250g baby leaf spinach 500g pack puff pastry 500g salmon fillet, skinned 4 slices smoked salmon 1 egg, lightly beaten 1tsp cumin seeds 1 Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.

Heat the oil in a pan and add the garlic and spinach. Wilt the spinach quickly. Put on kitchen paper to soak up any liquid.

2 Roll out the pastry on a foured surface to make a 38cm x 38cm square.

3 Place the raw salmon in the middle, then layer the spinach on top of the fsh.

Add a little freshly ground pepper. Layer the smoked salmon over the spinach.

4 Now wrap it up. Bring the edges of the pastry over the fsh and seal by pinching the edges together. Do the same at each end. Trim of any excess pastry.

5 Brush the pastry parcel all over with beaten egg and sprinkle the cumin seeds over the top. Place on a baking tray and put in the oven for 45mins, until nicely golden.

Lorraine Pascale

Model-turned-cakemaker Lorraine has hosted TV cookery shows including Fast, Fresh And Easy Food, and is the author of four best-selling recipe books.

This recipe is taken from A Lighter Way To Bake (HarperCollins).

Lorraine’s book How To Be A Better Cook, which ties in with the BBC series of the same name, is out this September.

‘I’ve given one of my childhood favourites a more nutritious spin by using wholemeal breadcrumbs for the coating, plus they’re baked instead of fried.’

4 slices wholemeal bread 1tbsp fresh thyme leaves, roughly chopped 3 egg whites 4 x 125g skinless salmon fillets For the tartare sauce 150g full-fat Greek yogurt 2tsp Dijon mustard 4tsp capers 3 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped 1tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley 2tsp finely chopped fresh tarragon Juice of ½ lemon Few drops of Tabasco

26 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | AUGUST 2014

Pepper Sauce (optional) Lemon wedges, to serve Lettuce, to garnish 1 Preheat the oven to 220C/ 200C Fan/Gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Lightly toast the bread and then blitz in a processor to get fne, dry breadcrumbs. Tip into a large bowl and toss through the thyme, a little salt and a good amount of black pepper. Lightly beat the egg whites in another big bowl and season.

2 Cut each salmon fllet in

half lengthways, to get 8 fngers of fsh. In batches, toss the fngers in the egg white and then in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Arrange in a single layer on the baking tray as you go. Bake in the oven for 10–15mins.

3 Meanwhile, to make the tartare sauce, simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl.

Season to taste.

4 To see if the fsh fngers are cooked, push a knife tip into the thickest bit; the fesh should be opaque.

Remove from the oven and serve with the tartare sauce.

200g plain flour, plus extra for rolling out 115g butter 1 courgette, topped and tailed and cut into ribbons with a peeler 1tsp sunflower oil 3 large free-range eggs 300g reduced-fat crème fraîche, plus extra to serve 140g smoked salmon, cut into strips 2tsp chopped chives, plus extra to serve 75g Cheddar, grated 1 Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C Fan/Gas 6. Sift the

four and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter.

Mix with 4tbsp very cold water to make a stif dough.

2 Roll out on a lightly foured surface and line a 23cm fan case. Lay a piece of foil on the pastry and weigh it down with baking beans or dry rice. Bake for 10mins. Remove the foil and beans or rice, and cook for another 5mins.

3 Reduce the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Lay the courgette ribbons on the paper in a single layer – you may need

to do this in 2 batches.

Brush lightly with oil and cook in the oven for 4-5mins until they have softened slightly. Cool on kitchen towel.

4 Lightly beat the eggs and crème fraîche together and season with pepper.

Add the salmon, courgette ribbons, chives and 50g of the Cheddar.

5 Pour into the fan case and top with the rest of the cheese. Bake for 30-35mins or until the flling is just set.

Serve with more crème fraîche mixed with chives.

The Hairy Bikers

Si King (left) and Dave Myers share their love of food and travel on TV and in books. This recipe is from The Hairy Bikers: Mums Still Know Best (Weidenfeld & Nicolson).

The Hairy Dieters: Good Eating is out this October.

‘We love this traditional potted salmon recipe. It’s perfect to take on a picnic and delicious spread on toast.’

2 x 150g skinless salmon fillets 1 small unwaxed lemon 1 bay leaf 50g butter 100g smoked salmon 100g full-fat soft cheese Small bunch of fresh dill leaves stripped from the stalks (about 2tbsp), plus dill sprigs, to garnish Toast, to serve 1 Put one of the salmon fllets in a small pan and pour over enough water to cover. Using a vegetable peeler, cut a wide strip of zest from the lemon and add it to the pan with the bay leaf. Bring the water to a gentle simmer, cover and

cook for 6mins. Transfer the cooked salmon to a plate and leave to cool.

2 Cut the second salmon fllet into 1.5cm cubes (about the size of a dice).

Place in a clean pan with the butter and cook over a low heat for 2-3mins, until the salmon is just cooked through, turning once. Remove from the heat and set aside.

3 Flake the whole poached salmon fllet and put in a food processor with the smoked salmon, soft cheese and dill leaves. Finely grate the zest of half the lemon into the processor. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

4 Blend the salmon and soft cheese mixture until almost smooth, removing the lid and pushing down once or twice with a rubber spatula. Transfer to a bowl and add the cooked salmon cubes, reserving the melted butter. Gently fold the salmon mixture together.

5 Spoon the salmon mixture into individual dishes or a preserving jar or ceramic dish. Pour over the reserved melted butter, leaving any sediment at the bottom of the pan. Garnish with sprigs of dill, cover and leave to set in the fridge.

The potted salmon will keep for for up to 2 days.

6 Serve with toast.

SPOTLIGHT ON

BLACKBERRIES

RASPBERRIES

The tart favour of blackberries works brilliantly in sauces for rich meats like pork and duck, as well as in sweet dishes such as fruit fools or syllabubs.

These berries have an intense taste and vibrant colour. They’re a perfect match for chocolatey desserts, but also add a sharp sweetness to salad dressings.

STRAWBERRIES

Sweet, juicy strawberries don’t need much doing to them. For a summery side salad, slice them and serve with baby gem lettuce and balsamic dressing.

SPOTLIGHT ON...

Berries

These delicious fruits are the taste of summer, adding fresh, tangy favours to a whole range of dishes

BLUEBERRIES

Plump and frm, blueberries have a deliciously sharp favour. They taste fantastic in cheesecakes, and give a burst of tangy favour when baked in mufns.

AUGUST 2014 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | 31

There’s nothing that says summer more to me than luscious berries.

They add sweet, intense favour to smoothies, ice cream, fans and pies – as well as being tangy enough to use in sauces to go with meat. If you’re eating them fresh, take them out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature for even more favour.

Berries are delicate, so only lightly rinse under cold water, drain well, then pick of any stalks or leaves.

Damon Johnson, Head of Produce Quality

BLUEBERRIES

Blueberry mojito Shake blueberries, lime zest and juice, mint leaves and sugar in a cocktail shaker. Lightly crush with the back of a spoon and pour into a glass. Add rum, soda water and lots of ice.

Duck with fruity blackberry sauce

Balsamic strawberries

Why not try?

Remove the hulls from some strawberries (see below).

Quarter the berries and pop in a bowl. Drizzle over balsamic vinegar and caster sugar. Leave to infuse for 30mins. Serve on Chosen by you Mini Shortbread Biscuits with scoops of ice cream.

Make a sweet start to your day with strawberry granola. Toast porridge oats in the oven until golden. Mix with flaked almonds, a pinch of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey. Stir in chopped strawberries and serve with Greek yogurt.

Remove hulls (the top green bit) from fully ripened strawberries by pushing a drinking straw up through the middle of the berry from the bottom. The hull will be left in the straw!

Tip

Blueberries make Tip great toppings for yogurt, porridge or cereal, so they’re really handy to have in the fridge. They freeze well, too.

Spread out on a baking tray, freeze, then divide into portions in freezer bags.

Sauté a fnely chopped shallot in olive oil. Mix 4 parts apple juice and 1 part cider vinegar. Add to the shallot with some blackberries. Simmer for 8-10mins. Add a cornflour and water paste for the last 2mins to thicken. Purée until smooth, and serve over pan-fried duck breast.

Blackberries have quite a sharp taste, which is easily balanced with a sprinkling of sugar. They’re then perfect for puréeing with a hand-held blender, before serving with ice cream or apple pie.

Tip

Why not try?

Making a blackberry tart couldn’t be easier. Use the point of a knife to score a border inside a rectangle of puff pastry. Spread mascarpone mixed with honey inside the border and cover with blackberries.

Bake at 200C/180C Fan/ Gas 6 for 12-15mins, or until the pastry is golden.

DID YOU KNOW?

The word PICNIC is thought to come from the French piquer, meaning to pick or peck, and nique, a thing of little importance. After the French Revolution, the gardens at Versailles were opened to the public and the trend for visiting places and taking food was born.

The average number of picnics people in the UK have each summer*

hydrated. Half fill a freezersafe water bottle the night before and lay it on its side in the freezer. At the picnic, top it up with cold water and you’ll have refreshing, ice-cold water to drink. It will help your food stay cold on the way there, too.

Flies and wasps are

attracted to sweet drinks, and no one wants an unpleasant surprise when taking a sip. Pack a few paper cake cases in your picnic basket, and put one upside-down over each glass like an umbrella.

Poke a straw through the paper – no more bugs!

I have a jar of red pesto in my cupboard as I thought that I would try it out.

HOW TO…

Skin fsh fllets

Put the fsh, skin side down, on a board. For extra grip, rub salt gently between your fngers and over the fsh. Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife, cut through the fesh at the tail end.

Give the knife a slight twist. This should loosen the fesh enough to allow you to get the knife between the fesh and skin.

Holding the knife at a 30-degree angle, make a sawing motion back and

Are you brave enough to try the new Who Dares Burns hot chilli sauce, £3.98?

Made from three varieties of chilli, this extra-hot sauce scores more than 1million on the Scoville heat chart – so be warned, it’s extremely hot!

Food lovers are going crazy for all things chilli at the moment and chilli sauce is a great way to pep up everything from stir-fries to marinades and glazes. If you love trying hot, exotic new flavours, Asda Chilli & Jalapeno Relish is also hot stuff – or for a milder taste, try Asda Sweet Chilli Sauce.

2 forth across the fsh while pushing the knife away from you. Make sure the knife is fush against the skin and in contact with the board, and pull the skin towards you. This keeps the skin taut so it separates

from the fesh easily.

Continue until you reach the end. Remove any skin still on the fsh.

TOP TIP If you’re freezing the fsh fllet, it’s best to leave the skin on to help prevent freezer burn.

4

A STERILE ENVIRONMENT

When you’re making preserves such as jams, chutneys and pickles (or our jam-jar desserts, see p62), the jars need to be sterile.

This makes the food safe to eat and it lasts longer, too.

To sterilise your jars, preheat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2. Wash the jars in hot soapy water.

Rinse, then put them in the

oven, on their sides, for 20mins to dry.

Alternatively, wash the jars in the dishwasher on the highest setting. Do this just before you use the jars.

Check all jars for cracks and chips, which can be a hiding place for bacteria.

Make sure the lids ft well to create a seal that will keep bacteria out of the food.

My family love Scotch eggs with salad and chutney for a summer lunch – and you can’t beat homemade ones for freshness and favour.

We’ve added black pudding to this recipe, as the spicy taste works well with eggs. You can use any type of sausage, too – try Cumberland, Lincolnshire or your own personal favourite.

1 Heat the oven to 140C/ 120C Fan/Gas 1. Whizz the bread in a food processor or blender to make crumbs.

Spread them on a baking tray and put in the oven for 10mins. Leave to cool.

2 Meanwhile, heat a pan of water to a gentle boil. Add 4 of the eggs, bring back to the boil and simmer for 6mins. Pour out the hot water, and leave the pan under cold running water until the eggs are cool to the touch. Remove the shells.

3 Mix the sausage meat with the black pudding and thyme. Divide into 4 equal portions. Put each portion on a sheet of clingflm, put another sheet on top, then use the palms of your hands to fatten the meat into 14cm rounds or patties.

4 Put the four in a shallow dish and roll the peeled eggs in it. Put each egg on a pattie and wrap the meat around to cover. Press the edges down lightly to seal.

5 Lightly beat the remaining

2 eggs with the milk and put in a shallow dish. Put the crumbs in another dish.

Coat the meat in the egg mixture then the crumbs.

Chill for 30mins.

6 Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 170C. Fry the Scotch eggs for about 10-12mins until crisp and golden. Put on a sheet of kitchen paper to drain of the oil.

Glynis’ tips

● Try replacing the black pudding with chopped chorizo

or chopped herbs such as thyme or parsley, to add extra depth of favour. ● When deep-frying, test if the oil is hot enough by dropping in a small cube of bread. If it turns golden within 10secs, the oil is ready to use.

✁

● We’ve boiled the eggs for 6mins to get yolks with runny centres. If you prefer your yolks frmer, leave the eggs to simmer for an extra 3mins. ● Drying out the breadcrumbs in the oven makes a crisper coating when you deep-fry your Scotch eggs. If you’re short of time, use ready-dried Asda Breadcrumbs.

Think honey’s just for breakfast? Try the new Cooks’ Range from Rowse to bring out the best in your recipes To add sweetness and depth to your dishes, there’s nothing like the natural favour of honey.

The new Cooks’ Range from Rowse has been

selected to help you get the perfect favour match for all sorts of recipes.

For barbecues, try Australian Honey, with an intense taste and hint of

caramel. Just brush it over meat before grilling for a tasty glaze. Or balance the spicy tastes in Asian dishes with Chinese Honey – it’s fruity and extra sticky.

And, of course, honey’s a great alternative to sugar in drinks and desserts.

Try Acacia Honey, which has a delicate favour with just a hint of apple.

Add extra sweetness and heat to an Asian-style vegetable stir-fry by mixing in a squeeze of Rowse Chinese Honey with some fnely chopped red chilli.

Mix minced beef, chopped fresh parsley and sliced red onion with a squeeze of Rowse Australian Honey.

Add beaten egg to bind the meat mixture, then season and shape into patties.

Cook on a barbecue or griddle. Meanwhile, heat a little more Rowse Australian Honey in a pan and add fresh or tinned pineapple rings. Cook for 2mins, until the pineapple is sticky and lightly browned. Serve the burgers on lightly toasted burger buns and top with the caramelised pineapple, plus cheese, mayonnaise and the salad garnish of your choice.

Six weeks is a long time to keep everyone happy during the school holidays, so try these practical suggestions to keep the peace We’ve all been there…

The kids start out really excited about being of school. Then, at some point during the holidays, they start to wind each other up. But whether you’re dealing with cranky toddlers or bored sevenyear-olds, there are ways to get through it. We look at some ways to stop squabbles before they start to ensure your holiday goes smoothly.

WHAT ‘We made THE KIDS a book SAY corner, like in school. It’s for quiet time and when it’s rainy. We choose a diferent story each time. I like The Little Mermaid story the best.’

SAIRA, 5

They’re too tired to enjoy themselves...

Don’t let the usual routines go.

Set bed times are important.

Tired children can be sensitive and easily irritated. Parenting expert and agony aunt Suzie Hayman of CANparent (canparent. org) says kids thrive on routines – and plenty of sleep. ‘They need a lot more sleep than most of us realise, and if you ditch all routine it’s really disruptive, emotionally and physically.’ The odd later evening doesn’t matter, but keeping set times for bed and meals makes a big diference.

SCREEN BUDGET SAM

You’re stuck in a car (or train, or plane) and they’re not happy Children and adults alike can get restless on long journeys. You can help boredom by planning stops and letting the kids know how long the journey will take – you could even turn this into a game by announcing time markers. Stock up on about twice as much as you think you need in terms of games and CDs. Don’t forget good old-fashioned games such as I Spy.

WHAT ‘Don’t just let the day PARENTS run away with you – SAY you’ll end up grouchy.

Get everyone up and out in the morning, early enough so you don’t immediately have to start thinking about lunch and naps.’

RUMANA, MUM OF THREE

BECKY

MON TUE WED THURS FRI SAT SUN ‘Last year STARS

WHAT THE KIDS we did SAY a project book. We stuck things in for each week, like leaves or pictures from magazines. My brother stuck in his birthday wrapping paper, too. We’ve kept them and we’re going to do it again this year.’

MAYA, 6

They just want to watch TV…

…or play on the computer, or tablet. And what’s more, they’re arguing over the screens. Try setting a ‘screen budget’ for each child. Tell them they’ve got a set amount of time to spend. If they want to do it all in one go that’s fne, but that’s it for the day or week and it doesn’t go on again. You’ll need to stick to it, but giving them that bit of responsibility for themselves does work.

It’s raining again!

You’ve got two choices here. One is to stay indoors and do some fun stuf like biscuit making, or putting on their own X-Factor show – a good idea if everyone’s tired of going out. Or, if you’re driving each other mad stuck in a small space, get them out to an indoor soft-play centre, take them swimming, or try bowling. Museums are a great bet too, and they’re often free. Top tip from museums blogger Katharine Alston (artefactsobjects.blogspot.co.uk) is to head for the top floor, which is usually quieter, and to chat to the volunteers, who are often able to give insight and guidance that you might not usually get.

AUGUST 2014 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | 71

HOLIDAY FUN

WHAT ‘I like it best when my sister THE KIDS plays with her friend and SAY I have just mummy.’ NOAH, 3

It’s babysitter time

There are times during the holidays when you have to rely on babysitters or relatives. Children may not be keen and often there’s a major meltdown. A little bribery can work wonders, but so does sticking to your guns. It’s worth having activities planned, so they can get excited in advance. Someone the kids think is cool can stop bad behaviour – they’ll want to impress them.

Let’s face it, sometimes even the best parenting strategies break down and you can’t stop a full-blown squabble. Try Suzie Hayman’s tactic for getting them to calm down. ‘Don’t always wade in as the referee.

Get them into the habit of negotiation. If you ask them how they want things to be diferent, they often come up with sensible demands and work it out together.’

WHAT ‘My mum’s got an THE KIDS egg-timer – if me and SAY my brother have a fght I have to stay quiet while he talks. Then she turns it over and I talk while he listens. It’s hard not to interrupt.’ JOSH, 4

WHAT ‘One-on-one time is the biggest thing for keeping us on an even keel.

PARENTS I used to arrange play dates for both of them at the same time, to SAY give myself a break. But actually if I just have one with me, we potter around doing whatever that child wants with no arguments.’

Celeb stylist Andrew Barton shows you how

Summer’s here, which means fun days out and perhaps a holiday on the horizon, too. But wherever you are, you’ll want your hair to look great, as well as protecting it from humidity and the sun. Taking inspiration from celebs, stylist Andrew Barton has three key summer looks that are perfect for long, medium or short hair, plus expert tips to keep it in good condition.

THE SIDE PLAIT Soft side plaits are a big hit on the red carpet – and this relaxed look is an easy way to keep longer hair under control. It looks good during the day, but works just as well for an evening out.

(And when you unplait it, you’ll have another, wavy hairstyle too!) To give extra volume and make your plait thicker, Andrew suggests backcombing the sections of your hair before plaiting.

Andrew’s how to…

For medium-length hair

THE TOP KNOT Top knots are another A-list favourite, says Andrew, and they’ll keep hair up and out of the way so you can keep cool while still looking good. Don’t worry if you don’t have enough hair to

make this loose top knot – you can create a bun instead. Just roughly twist your hair around a Style Easy Bun Styler, £3.50.

Hey presto – a perfect bun in an instant.

Andrew’s how to…

Spritz damp hair with L’Oréal Elnett Satin Heat Protect Styling Spray, £5.98 (170ml), to help lock out frizz and humidity. Blast dry.

Pull hair to one side. Divide into three sections and plait loosely – gently tease out the sections for a soft, natural look.

Backcomb the end of the plait. Secure with a band, wrapping a little hair around it to cover.

Dampen hair and prep with Asda Hair Mousse, £2 (200ml), scrunching it to create lots of body. Dry hair.

2

Pull hair up into a ponytail on top of your head and secure it with an Andrew Barton Hold it Right There Surefx Band, £2.50 for 10.

Finally, gently backcomb the ponytail to give volume. Wrap and loop into a circular shape and pin in place with hair grips.

For short hair

THE SWEPT-BACK LOOK Short hair is really easy to care for in the summer – and this celeb-chic, sleeked-back look is great when the temperatures soar. It takes minimum

styling, too, and will have you out of the door in record time – whether you’re heading for the beach or the bar. Perfect summertime style!

Spray damp hair with Andrew Barton Supreme Volume Big Hair Lifting Spray, £3.90 (250ml). Blow dry, lifting hair at the roots.

Once your hair is dry, backcomb the roots a little to give added lift and hold to the style.

Shield your hair with L’Oréal Elvive Colour Protect Caring Shampoo, £2.89 (280ml) as the sun plays havoc with coloured hair. Finish with Aussie Dual Personality Shine+ Coloured Hair Protection Serum, £4.98 (75ml), to protect hair and keep colour vivid.
