AS the 2011 Wimbledon Championships get underway today, our thoughts turn to summer food that can be eaten on your lap whilst sipping a glass of something fruity!

To help you avoid the pitfalls of bowls of mushy berries and jugs of too-sweet Pimm’s, BBC Good Food’s Jane Hornby has devised the perfect recipes to see you through those long afternoons and evenings in front of the TV.

Hornby suggests mixing Pimm’s with ice-cold mint and citrus tea to make a less sweet, but every bit as refreshing, alternative to Pimm’s and lemonade, and making up strawberry-themed desserts that can be served straight from the freezer.
