With deliciously charcoaled flavours (perfect for the barbecue!), recipes include Grilled gilt head bream with charred fennel salad and a punchy chilled summer soup – created as part of its support towards the Soup for Syria campaign – with avocado, garlic, urfa chilli, pepper, cucumber and mint. Additionally, James has created a collection of cocktails with an exotic Levantine twist. Take a bow, the Arabica Summer Cup (a Middle Eastern take on the classic Pimm’s).
