This article presents two recipes by Max Rocha, owner of Café Cecilia: confit trout salad and grilled courgette with apricot, stracciatella, and roasted almonds. These dishes have become popular stalwarts at his restaurant over its five-year history and are particularly suited for summer due to being best served at room temperature or slightly warm.

They reflect a shift towards adaptable and convenient culinary options for summer heatwaves.
