Adam Liaw’s tomato, onion and cucumber raita

Raitas are often thought of as cooling but are more for balance in a meal – strongly spiced dishes should have a mildly spiced raita.

Tapenade flatbreads with white bean puree and fried capers

Amp up the classic 'bread and dip'. These flatbreads have a spiral of black tapenade through them, and are excellent with more subtly flavoured dips like this bean puree. To cook the flatbreads, you'll need a solid iron or steel griddle, or an uncoated old-fashioned frying pan, as the non-stick finishes aren't to be used over very high heats.

Smoked trout dip with crudites

A play on taramasalata – made traditionally with cod roe – this uses smoked river trout fillets, which are delicious and a more sustainable option than salmon. Serve the crudites over ice to keep everything fresh and crunchy. This is a perfect accompaniment for an afternoon of tennis-watching.
