Ina's dear friend and garden designer Edwina VonGal is creating a fragrant kitchen herb box for Ina's garden. In return Ina makes her a delicious portable supper - Lobster Cobb rolls, rice salad and mini orange chocolate chunk cakes. There will be a box for a box exchange at nightfall on the porch.

One of Ina's friends has just moved houses, and to celebrate, Ina and her friend Allison Belmore are planning a settling in dinner. Their menu includes the most comforting dishes of all time – mac and cheese served with a baby arugula salad, plus peach and raspberry shortcakes filled with vanilla whipped cream.

Ina compiles her list of all time favourite desserts. First something easy but really elegant Summer Pudding bursting with ripe berries, a comforting old time favourite rum raisin rice pudding, an old classic key lime pie, a two way crème anglaise that can be a sauce or an ice cream and a delicious hot caramel sauce.
