BURGERS go with summer like buckets and spades.
Make your own if you want to find your perfect pattie.

Hundreds of recipes lay claim to the title of “best burger” but the only way to find the one you love is to give it a go.
These four ideas, all for four people, will give shop-bought burgers a bun for their money.
THE CLASSIC: Take 500g of mince, mix with one egg and a finely chopped onion.
Shape into evenly sized balls, flatten into patties and place on a plate in the fridge for half an hour.
Brush one side with a little bit of vegetable oil and then either fry or place on the barbecue until cooked.
THE THREE-INGREDIENT PATTIE: Mix 500g of beef mince with 50g breadcrumbs and a tablespoon of tomato ketchup or purée.
Then shape into similar size burgers before cooking as above.
THE HIDDEN CHEESE BURGER: Mix together 60g each of grated cheddar and mozzarella.
Once you’ve made your beef patties using one of the recipes above, divide the cheese mixture into four.
Squeeze each into a ball and flatten. Push the cheese disc into your burger, bring the meat over and around until it’s covered.
Cool in the fridge for 30 minutes. If you’re using a barbecue, cook on both sides for five minutes each, then wrap in foil and keep cooking for five minutes so the cheese melts inside.
Without a barbecue, cook in a frying pan for five minutes each side and then bake in the oven for ten minutes on a high heat.
THE CHEF’S BURGER: Every chef has a secret ingredient for the perfect burger.
In Jamie Oliver’s Cracking Burger recipe at jamieoliver.com, you add a handful of crushed Jacob’s Cream Crackers, fresh parsley and a generous dollop of Dijon mustard to take your patties to the next level.
