Heat up your summer eats

CEBU, Philippines - Stock up your summer pantry with great food finds. Make your summer favorites - appetizers, main dishes, and even desserts - all the more irresistibly delicious.

Amp up a healthy salad with an added burst of flavor. The Waitrose Essential Red Wine Vinegar add a thicker flavor to your greens, the Carmencita Black Pepper with Grinder enhances taste, and the Waitrose 100% Greek Olive Oil gives a refined finish.

Next, make the all-time favorite beef kebab your go-to summer meal - with a twist - by spicing it up with the right flavors from the McCormick Spanish Paprika and the La Rambla Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Enjoy your savory kebab with tasty Lemon Saffron Rice, made from Healthy Rich Basmati Rice that's spiced up with Waitrose Cook's Ingredients Saffron. Finally, end your juicy beef meal with Nancy's Whole Milk Plain Yogurt, a healthy but definitely indulgent and fitting choice to cleanse the palate.

Of course, with summer night-outs calling for breezy outdoor barbecues, make your grilled corn taste even better by glazing it with Nacro Salted Butter, or go for a hotter or tangier kick with the Thai Heritage Sambal Sauce or the Stonewall Kitchen Maple Chipotle Grill Sauce.

A sweet ending to your summer meals, make your Peach Crème Fraiche more delectable with whiskey caramel sauce that you can concoct yourself using the Waitrose Blended Scotch Whiskey. Also try the Molinera Peach Halves and the KG Plain Flower Rolls for an easy-to-prepare summer dessert.
