Cold summer dishes to enjoy

Summer has finally arrived! Are you ready to enjoy to sun, the sea, holidays, starry nights, new adventures and friends? Keep summer in the kitchen fun and tasty: with so many fresh and fast recipes to choose from on Cookidoo®, your summer eating will be full of flavour.

Cold dishes to prepare ahead

Relax and enjoy a light and flavourful dish under the sun or in a balmy evening breeze, and make it a holiday in your own backyard. While you wait for the time when your well-deserved beach or mountain holidays arrive, enjoy fresh summer recipes on Cookidoo®. Recipes such as Satay Turkey Skewers are simple; serve over a tasty chopped salad for a light dinner. Many recipes that are usually served hot can be served cold, such as frittata, quiche or rice pilaf.

Dips make it special

A simple dip takes cold dishes to new levels. For instance, these Thai Style fish cakes can be served warm or cold, with a dip. Or serve cold cooked prawns with a cocktail sauce and crusty baguette. One of the easiest ways to create varied dips is to start with a basic sauce and add flavourings to it.

Mayonnaise makes a meal

Mayonnaise is one of the best “canvases” for creating flavourful fresh dips. Making this mayonnaise in Thermomix® is easy and fast, and most of all, it works every time. Make a batch and then get creative with added flavours.

Pesto mayonnaise: stir a spoonful of Thermomix-made Basil pesto to make a pasta salad.
Barbecue mayonnaise: stir in a spoonful of Barbecue Sauce
Cocktail or fry sauce : Mix up half mayonnaise and half tomato ketchup for a super quick sauce to serve with seafood or roasted potatoes.
Curry dressing: Stir a spoonful of curry paste into mayonnaise for a curry dressing to serve with cold chicken.
