You know how pork tenderloins always come two to a pack? It’s always such a conundrum when you’re cooking for just two people – that pesky second tenderloin is always nagging at me.

Our fridge was full of bratwurst, hot dogs, homemade tzatziki sauce, watermelon, sweet corn and chicken pesto linguini, to name a few.
