Madeleine Shaw’s
Sweetcorn Fritters with Tomato Salsa and Avocado
This is one of my favourite summer recipes. Tomatoes
really are the superfood of the summer. They’re
bursting with lycopene which has wonderful benefits
for our skin, helping to protect against sunburn as it has
the ability to block UV light.
