Sweet and refreshing, watermelon is the king of the summer melons, so we think. Paired with fellow pink-hued summer fruits – think strawberries, raspberries, cherries and peaches – it’s put to good use in frozen desserts, fancy fruit salads and punches. In salads, you’ll find it in good company with prawns, radishes and jamón. And as for Black Star Pastry’s famous watermelon cake, we have the recipe for that, too.
