Fallon & Byrne Cashel Blue cheese, sour cream and chive dip (€5.50/180g. Two for €10). Summer is when a good dip comes into its own, and this is one of the best I have tasted. It has a strong blue cheese flavour and a light creamy consistency, with plenty of fresh chopped chives to balance the cheese. Despite being a fresh product, requiring refrigeration, it has a relatively long shelf life. The obvious choice is to serve it with hot sauce chicken wings. It is also good with crudités.

Finishing Jus, from Marks & Spencer (€4/200g). This is a concentrated gravy, made with beef and chicken bones, that is ready to use, so no stock pot simmering is required. A handy shortcut, for when making gravy from scratch might be a step too far,It is ready to use as a posh sauce, dotted artistically on a plate. But it can also be used as a flavour bomb, to bring instant depth of flavour.

The Government’s school meals programme, which aims to provide a free hot lunch to all primary schoolchildren by 2030, has been rolled out to 1,400 schools in a pilot project, 900 of them joining the scheme last month. It looks likely that the original target date for delivery will be met much earlier than planned, perhaps as soon as next year.
