Lemon Olive Oil
LEMON FLAVOURED OLIVE OIL I use it on literally everything! Angela Finnegan, Bayleys
Whether you are looking for just the right things to bring when staying with friends or stocking the pantry at the bach we’ve got some great ideas for your summer essentials. To create our list we called in some of the Nourish family to tell us their essential summer ingredient, that one ingredient that they just can’t go a summer without.
TOMATOES My essential summer ingredient is most definitely tomatoes! They make summer, well … summery and are so versatile. We eat them fresh by the bucketload, dehydrate and roast them and bottle tons to enjoy in the middle of winter. Emma Galloway, My Darling Lemon Thyme
ROASTED RED PEPPERS My essential summer ingredient has to be roasted red peppers! They add fabulous flavour and colour to dips (especially homemade hummus), pizza, pasta, platters, roast veggies and salads. I always have them in a jar in the fridge and get rather tetchy when I run out.
FLAVOURED VINEGARS I always have a couple of different vinegars on hand during summer to make a variety of salad dressings and marinades. Balsamic vinegar is always a favourite but also try raspberry, tarragon or white balsamic. Experiment with different flavour combinations: simply mix 1 part vinegar to 2 parts oil and add some Dijon or grainy mustard and any other flavours of your choice such as honey, maple syrup, herbs, garlic, harissa, tahini or soy sauce. Vinegars are also great with berries and stone fruits over summer, such as balsamic or raspberry vinegar, and strawberries or mixed berries, parfaits or tarts. Brigid Sullivan, La Cave Hamilton

Notorious for not drinking enough water, a glass of sparkling seems so much more sexy! Plus, when entertaining you can easily whip up a refreshing nonalcoholic option for guests, and just as importantly NO single use plastic bottles. Having sparkling water on hand also means you can create light batter for that freshly caught fish or the delicately stuffed zucchini flower. Vicki Ravlich-Horan – Nourish Magazine Editor
