Yotam Ottolenghi’s recipes for no-cook cooking

As the temperature rises, no one wants to spend hours at the stove, and these no-cook recipes tick all the right summer boxes

At this stage of the year, three days from its longest day, “cooking” is often more about shopping and assembly than time standing at the stove. I like to spend a moment making interesting and punchy dressings and infused oils, then using them in near-instant meals. Fruit- and veg-wise, the bounty of colour, flavour, shapes and sizes around in summer means that much of the work has, joyfully, been done for us already.

How to cook turkey crown: The best turkey crown recipe

Image
A turkey crown makes a handsome centrepiece on the Christmas table and is the ideal turkey option for smaller festive gatherings. A turkey crown is a whole turkey with the legs and usually the wings removed, so just the white breast meat is left on the bone. It is also possible to buy a deboned stuffed turkey crown where the bones are removed making it extra easy to carve. Both are an ideal choice for a smaller Christmas fest as there is less meat. And although very similar, we do find a turkey crown a bit simpler to cook than a whole turkey. As when cooking an entire bird there can be a difference in cooking times between the light and dark meat. Turkey crowns are readily available from supermarket and butchers in the weeks leading up to Christmas and Thanksgiving. They will often come adorned with an attractive bacon lattice or herby decoration to make them look extra special – and to save you the job of dressing it yourself! Per kilo turkey crowns are generally more expensive

Getty Images If over-the-counter hay fever medicines leave you drowsy and miserable, try one of our top 10 natural hay fever remedies to keep you feeling fine and hay fever free all summer long! Never suffered with hay fever symptoms before, but have this year? That’s because it’s getting worse. “Hay fever is on rise,” says chief pharmacist Stuart Gale from oxfordonlinepharmacy.co.uk . By 2030, it’s predicted that half the population will have it. “A sudden reaction could be because we are now better able to diagnose such conditions,” says Stuart. “Previously, patients might have been diagnosed with a summer cold.” And that’s not all. “As the climate changes so does the make-up of plant pollens. So, although you were previously exposed to pollens throughout your life which did not affect you, you may suddenly find you’re sensitive to a particular pollen strain,” says Stuart. “And pollen counts are on the increase, combined with warmer summers. This exacerbates the impact of pollu
