Summer is an expansive and joyful time with parties in full swing. Buffets, potlucks, barbecues, alfresco dining, picnics and more. If you’re hosting one this summer or contributing to someone else’s, here are a few scrumptious summer party recipes to liven up your celebrations.
With two bank holidays and four days of Platinum Jubilee celebrations here in the UK this week, there are going to be a lot of parties. If you’re still looking for ideas on what to prepare, I’ve rounded up a few vegetarian summer party recipes to help.

Summer Party Desserts
Well you can’t have a Platinum Jubilee celebration without the winning pudding. Luckily clever Chloe has come up with a cheat’s version which is an awful lot easier to make than the original. If that doesn’t grab your fancy, there are a couple of other trifles that just might. Or there’s a perfect summer cheesecake, no-churn ice cream and a dead easy strawberries and cream recipe.

No summer’s day is complete without afternoon tea. And for every afternoon tea you need an accompanying bake. From sponge cakes to easy traybakes to cookies to strawberry Cornish splits. They all scream summer deliciousness. Tuck in.
