[READ] Gourmet TODAY June edition online

The summer sun has finally hit the islands putting a spring in everyone’s step. And it’s not just long days at the beach and meeting up with friends in the warm evenings that makes us happy. From a foodie’s perspective the summer makes us smile for a number of reasons from the sweet fruit that is now so abundant – peaches, melons, figs – to dining under the stars. Gourmet TODAY has searched high and low to find the best spots on the island for enjoying a meal outdoors.

The islands are getting hotter with football fever and as all eyes turn to Brazil, check out what fans will be eating while watching the games in Brazil and try your hand at Taiana Andrades Grech’s very own recipes for traditional Brazilian snacks that will go down a treat with a cold beer or five.
