Sweetcorn is one of summer's pleasures. A vibrant and versatile vegetable, its tender, sweet and crunchy kernels add colour and crunch to a number of recipes.

Grilled and served on the cob with lashings of butter is an all time favourite. But off the cob, sweetcorn has a number of tasty possibilities, from light, fresh salads, through to richer cheesy baked dishes, and of course, bacon.

We have collated some of our favourite sweetcorn recipes to put your sweetcorn to good use this summer. Whether you are looking for a vegetarian tart recipe for a picnic lunch, or a finger licking appetizer of hot chicken cakes to dunk into a sweet sauce; these dishes will get sweetcorn back on your recipe radar.
