Fresh tip...
Fresh asparagus is unsurpassed for flavour. When buying asparagus, choose firm, bright green with tight tips. It is best cooked on the same day of purchase, but will keep, tightly wrapped in a plastic bag, for 3 to 4 days in the fridge
INSPIRATION With so much delicious seasonal produce at your fingertips, it’s hard not to be inspired to make something new this summer. Sourced direct from Irish suppliers, you can taste the goodness in everything you eat, knowing it’s locally grown.

Tom’s tip...
Château Gravereau This elegant red is mainly Merlot from the Côtes de Bourg on Bordeaux’s “right bank” near Saint-Emilion. It demands meat, ideally rare steak or pink lamb.
“It’s easy to forget that you can over-chill white wines and rosés. I mean, you want to be able to taste them. The optimum temperature is 8°C, so an hour in the fridge is more than ideal.”
9
¤ .99 75cl
Tom’s tip... “Rosé wines. They’re so lovely to look at and, if you choose well, they’re dry and amazingly versatile with food. Sometimes people worry that they will be sweet but Aldi has chosen three fabulous rosés for you, all different, all dry, all great with everything from salmon and duck to lamb kebabs and houmous.”
Tom loves...
“A good sparkling wine. There’s something magic about those bubbles and something very exuberant about a wine that fizzes. It’s also a symbol of celebration, so cheers!”

Toro Loco Rosé As delicious to drink as it is to look at, this pretty Spanish rosé has a touch of fragrant ripe strawberry, thanks to the Tempranillo grape, and a crisp, fresh, dry style. Really versatile in food terms, but truly at home with olives as an apéritif.
Tom loves... From the best vineyards at the heart of Minervois, this big red is packed with Languedoc sun and ripe, intense Syrah and Grenache fruit. Dark, smooth and deep, it’s seductively French. Perfection in a bottle – voilà.

Exquisite Collection Chilean Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon A stunningly elegant Chilean red with all of the vibrancy of the New World but with a kind of restraint that suggests a classic red Bordeaux costing four or five times as much. Yes, it’s that good! ¤ .99 75cl

Pour 1 part Austin’s to 3 parts lemonade and add lime, chopped apple, fresh mint and crushed ice.
Pour 1 part of Austin’s into a jug one third full of ice. Add 3 parts of lemonade and slices of apple, orange, strawberry and cucumber. Garnish with sprigs of mint for a refreshing long drink.
For a sundowner to evening drink, heat 1.5 litres of apple juice with 4 tbsp of maple syrup. Add 2 cinnamon sticks, 6 cloves and the peel of 1 lemon and 1 orange. Strain into 6 mugs, add a 35ml glug of Austin’s to each and enjoy.

Even with an abundance of parks and patches of grass, sometimes there’s no place quite like your own back garden. Surrounded by family, maybe invite the neighbours over, fire up the barbecue, crack open a cold beer or pour yourself a nice glass of vino, straight from your own fridge. And if it gets cold out, you can always nip in and watch the telly instead.

Orla’s tip... “Staying hydrated is essential for physical and mental health. We lose water naturally from our bodies each day, and more when it’s warmer, so staying hydrated in the summer months means we need a little more fluid!”
Hot sunny days call for a glass of something long, cool and thirst quenching from our fruity and refreshing soft drinks range. For a fun, stylish touch, why not serve in retro jam jars?
Fresh tip...

Top tip...
Moisturise, moisturise and moisturise. Hydrated skin is a must for an even, long-lasting tan
Sun cream is the biggest summer essential of them all. So whether you’re preparing to jet off abroad or have plans to enjoy a relaxing staycation at home, it’s never too early to start thinking about skin protection.
