At Toklas, ingredients like datterini tomatoes and ripe peaches take centre stage. These recipes celebrate the simplicity of summer cooking, allowing fresh produce to shine with minimal intervention.

From risotto topped with sweet tomatoes, pecorino and mint to roasted peaches finished with amaretto and mascarpone, the preparations capture the character of the season: fresh, generous and full of flavour.

The recipes make the most of the freshest seasonal products, combining a light yet flavourful dinner with a dessert inspired by New York.
