Delia Smith's new book is a celebration of summer and all its glorious ingredients   - and introduces us to the more unusal ingredients that are gwoing in popularity;  rocket leaves and lemon grass, and herbs such as fresh coriander and sorrel.  More familiar ingredients are transformed by the subtle influence of Californian, Italian, Spanish, Greek and Oriental flavours and ideas.  

Here new techniques for grilling and roasting vegetables are xplained, here are stunning home-made ice creams, barbecues for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, a feast of fresh fruits, as well as a section on preserves to recapture some of flavours of summer in the dark days of winter.
