Get set to embrace sunny days and long weekends with our gorgeous May issue. You’ll find seasonal sharing dishes and special dinners that are perfect for hosting – including dazzling recipes to enjoy alongside everyone’s favourite international song contest (we’re giving them douze points!). If you’re heading out into the sunshine, don’t miss our brilliant backpack bakes and lunchbox ideas – great for days out or taking to the office. Nigella’s favourite potato salad will be a huge hit at any summer get-together, as will our round-up of ciders to savour. We’re keeping an eye on the budget too, with ingenious time- and money-saving microwave meals, and a chicken special that shows how to rustle up three mouthwatering family dinners from one bird. Enjoy
