Summer ideas for everyone

Now summer is officially here, it's time to invite some friends and family around for a barbecue.

Our Summer Wedges, with their hint of shallots and lime, will make the perfect complement to burgers, sausages, chicken or fish. They're so quick and easy to prepare, you can enjoy entertaining in the sun instead of being stuck in the kitchen.

And if you're looking to free up some time to make a mouth-watering dessert for Sunday lunch, try using our Home Roasts – delicious roast potatoes that are ready to pop in the oven.

Then, grab the kids to help you create a fresh fruit pie or crumble using apples, rhubarb, blackberries or whatever you have to hand. It's a great way to minimise waste and it's healthy too. Once they see how much fun the kitchen can be, they might even help with the washing up!

Make friends with your freezer

Your freezer, a place for delicious Home Fries and other McCain products. Which is good. Freezing is nature’s preservative, locking in vital nutrients and vitamins without losing taste or quality. And your freezer can help you do more than eat well – it can help you save money and cut down on food waste.
