This week we’re going to have a bit of fun with a quiz!
What started off as a humble dish consumed by peasants in the fields of the Mediterranean is now the UK’s favourite. We are talking of course about pizza, the most popular food purchased in British restaurants today, and the second most popular item bought in supermarkets for dinner.
But how much do you know about our favourite food?
So let’s make the most of these final days of summer with these delicious recipes that you can enjoy al-fresco (or indoors if it decides to rain!)
Baked potatoes and corn are delicious wrapped in foil and baked in the barbecue. Otherwise just cook indoors and eat out on the patio.

Cook’s tips Ribs are often included in multibuy offers at the supermarket. Buy a couple of packs and freeze one. Try coleslaw as an accompaniment instead of corn on the cob.
You can warm the falafel in foil on the barbecue and pop the pitta breads on for a couple of minutes, if you like.
These Falafel Pittas with Fruity Crunchy Salad are perfect for leftover fruits, salad, veg and bread. Mix and match what you have! This is a Dairy Diary recipe. For more delicious recipes visit the Dairy Diary Recipe Collection.

Cook’s tips Look in the freezer cabinet for frozen fruits – they are usually excellent value for money. Choose small fruits like the berries and currants, and if you want to use larger soft fruits, cut them into smaller pieces so that they will crush in a blender more easily.

Can you remember where you enjoyed your best cup of coffee?
My most memorable and delicious coffee came with a small glass of iced water and dainty pastry, in a tiny cafe in a little street in Innsbruck. It was rich and strong with just a hint of chocolate.
I’m sure this amazing brew was created with a very expensive espresso machine and it’s doubtful that I can create anything quite that good at home but I am going to give it a try!
The recipe and video is taken from Bake Club, the fabulous new online club from our sister company.
