Serves 4 as a side vegetable.

Summer calls for a more relaxed way of cooking and eating, and this recipe is pretty flexible. You can tweak the dressing; substitute peaches, ripe pears or even figs for the nectarines; use any salad leaves and blue cheese you like (or choose goat’s cheese or feta); and swap the walnuts for toasted hazelnuts or almonds. As long as you have sweet, ripe fruit, full-flavoured cheese and some crunchy nuts for texture, it’ll work beautifully. Serves 2 generously.

Four-Cheese Pizzas can be made as ‘rossa’ (or ‘red’, with a tomato base) or ‘bianca’ (‘white’, with no tomato and just the cheese). Typically, they feature a strongly flavoured blue cheese, like gorgonzola, soft cheeses (mozzarella and fontina), and a harder cheese (parmesan), to finish.
