The weather is warming up and the evenings stretching longer by the day. The feel of a pair of flip flops on your feet, the warmth of an evening sun, the taste of the sea air, the smell of freshly cut grass or sun tan lotion and that first sip of a perfectly iced drink on a hot day. All these things will evoke that lovely summer feeling, but none of these are perhaps quite as perfect at bringing summer to mind as the familiar smell of a barbecue wafting through the air.
Without a doubt, summer is a time for good food shared with good company. From a practical standpoint too, summer means more meals to cook, with the kids off school and friends and family to entertain. With this in mind, there’s no better time to start keeping your eyes open for those easy summer recipes that will both please others and make your life simpler.
Here at V8, we’re all about making your life easier, that’s why we’d like to give your mealtime repertoire a helpful boost with our new recipes section.

With its unique blend of 8 vegetables, V8 Original makes the perfect base for a huge number of meals, saving you time spent chopping, peeling and enriching the flavour of your food. Not convinced?
