It's summer and everyone's making loads of friends with salad. Here's five recipes that smack of summer time, when the living is easy (and the bacon need not be so greasy). At The Melbourne Pantry we cure, cold-smoke and hand-slice our bacon to create Streaky Bacon (from the belly) and Back Bacon (from the loin) and here's where you can get some. ;-)

Something that would all work year-round, really. Recipe at Williams Sonoma.
