The warmer it gets, the less time we want to spend in a hot kitchen, yet the warm
summer evenings are perfect for long, leisurely meals. Pasta solves that particular

If you want a tempting, tasty meal that is ready in minutes, Claire Borg’s seafood recipes are just the sort you need.

Try out these less popular types with recipes by the chefs at the Mediterranean Culinary Academy. Round off your meal with one – or more – of Livia Tabone-Mangan’s moreish cakes.
