When I think of the summer season I picture gathering in backyards with family and friends, sharing delicious food and enjoying each other’s company.

I love to entertain during the summer months and I like to keep recipes simple, using seasonal produce where possible and a delicious base like focaccia bread.

That is where COBS Bread comes into play; there is a location very close to my house (where I’ve certainly treated myself to their fresh-baked scones) and now they’re celebrating the release of their new Focaccia! So, I’ve partnered with COBS Bread to bring you a delicious and easy summer recipe which is perfect for entertaining using their Italian Herb Focaccia.

The Italian Herb Focaccia is hand-crafted and baked from scratch daily with aromatic herbs and more extra virgin olive oil than any of COBS Bread other loaves.

When I was creating this recipe I wanted it to be as straightforward as possible so you can whip-up it up quickly and then spend time with your guests enjoying this summery bite!

What I love about using the Italian Herb Focaccia is the delicate use of herbs in the bread including garlic, basil, oregano & marjoram which compliment all the other ingredients wonderfully.

The combination of peppery arugula with creamy mozzarella and prosciutto with the Italian Herb Focaccia is extremely satisfying. Then you top everything with a couple slices of grilled peach to add just a touch of sweetness; it’s truly an ultimate summer bite!

    Absolutely 100% my kind of recipe. I love the combination of sweet fruit and savoury meat/cheese. I’m especially into the idea of grilling the peaches for that added dimension. I could absolutely gobble these up.

This is one of my favourite ways to make salads in This is one of my favourite ways to make salads in the winter - ROAST some fav veggies together and then add them to salad greens, topped with feta, walnuts and a balsamic dressing. 

The best part is you can mix and match what you like so carrots would be delish, chopped almonds or goat cheese are great substitutes. 

Here’s generally how I make it:

1 large sweet potato, cubed
4 golden beets, peeled and cubed
12 Brussels sprouts, quartered 
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Salad greens
Chopped walnuts
Feta 

Dressing: Mix together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1x garlic clove minced, salt and pepper 

Toss the vegetables with a couple tablespoons olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast at 415 F for 30-35 minutes or until done to your liking. Add veggies to your favourite salad greens and top with nuts, cheese and dressing.
