WHAT’S IN ANNA’S 
PICNIC HAMPER?

Anna loves a picnic – and her hamper often has a nostalgic flavour, full of old-fashioned favourites with a modern twist. She’ll pack a Mediterranean-style Vegetable Quiche, along with No. 1 Four Cheese & Caramelised Onion Mini Rolls and some No.1 Mozzarella & Pesto Swirls. She won’t forget sweet treats: Pink Lemonade Jelly and Raspberry Ripple Eclairs are Anna’s favourites. To drink, Raspberry Ripple Cordial gives a Famous Five vibe.

WHAT’S IN ANNA’S STORE-CUPBOARD? 

A keen cook, Anna always makes sure her kitchen’s stocked with essentials to make rustling up a delicious dinner quick and easy. Olive oil is a must: Anna’s favourite is the Waitrose Extra Virgin Olive Oil. You’ll also find a balsamic glaze for drizzling over salads and cold meats, and a jar of tahini: not only for houmous, it’s also great with veg, and even in puddings and cakes.

BREAKFAST

breakfast bircher muesli

BIRCHER
MUESLI

“I love a Bircher muesli for breakfast during the summer months. I prep mine the evening before so it’s good to grab out of the fridge as soon as I wake up. This recipe is great thanks to the addition of the desiccated coconut and the blackberries, which are a truly underrated berry in my books!”

Best breakfast

LUNCH

Mashed peas on toast

MASHED PEAS ON TOAST

“Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Not only is this a great affordable recipe thanks to a handful of frozen peas being the main ingredient, the chances are you have most of the things you need in your cupboards or fridge already. I love it with a poached egg or two on top and a drizzle of olive oil.”

Light lunch

DINNER

Mixed tomato & cheese tartlet

MIXED TOMATO & CHEESE TARTLET

“Possibly my favourite Waitrose & Partners recipe ever. I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve made this – it’s a summer classic in our household. It’s so quick and easy to make and a crowd-pleaser whenever we have friends and family round. Pick the tiniest tomatoes you can find and enjoy this sweet and delicious summer tart.”
