Our newly renovated kitchen was wall-to-wall cakes for a week as we created, tested, frosted and tasted countless delicious layers.

Forget regular old hot dogs and try this easy, chic version: A warm, crusty baguette loaded with Dijon, mayonnaise and finished with a barbecued wiener.

Loads of flash-grilled veggies give this layered terrine sweetness, while the punchy green sauce makes for a stunning dish.

Summertime’s here (finally!) and to celebrate we’re mixing, freezing, scooping and licking – it’s all about ice cream, people! Here’s a gallery of some of our winning takes on this hot weather treat. Click through the recipes, pick a fave, whip it up and then click a pic before you lick. We want to see what you’ve made. Single, double, triple scoops or banana splits, from frozen yoghurt to salted caramel sauce to Mexican Sundaes, make the recipe and then go crazy with creativity. There are no wrong answers here, just delicious ice cream!
