From fish and chips to ice cream, these recipes are our absolute faves from Blighty

<p>We don't know about you, but sunny weather makes us want to pack up the car and scoot off on a mini-break &ndash; be it the countryside, seaside, or abroad.</p><p>When jetting off on to the Med isn&rsquo;t an option, remember that it's possible to create that holiday atmosphere at home.</p><p>We&rsquo;ve compiled our favourite recipes that remind us of our holidays, to give you a little taste of freedom from the comfort of your own kitchen!</p><p>From seaside fudge to classic fish and chips, check out our best staycation recipes below.</p><h2>Fish and chips</h2><p>We challenge you to find a seaside treat more classic than <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/fish-and-chips-recipe" target="_blank">fish and chips.</a> Flaky fish and a light-as-air batter with an incredible crunch, there&rsquo;s nothing that can touch that iconic duo. No matter where you go, if you&rsquo;re by the seaside, a visit to the chip shop is always hard to resist.</p><p>While you might think it's impossible to recreate this seaside feast at home, <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/fish-and-chips-recipe" target="_blank">we&rsquo;ve got the technique down to a fine art</a> and it's surprisingly easy! Our recipe uses flour, soy sauce and lager to create a tasty, light batter that even Skegness wouldn't scoff at. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="ultimate-fish-and-chips__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/ultimate-fish-and-chips__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>raspberry and chocolate brownie sharing milkshake </h2><p>If this <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/raspberry-chocolate-brownie-sharing-milkshake" target="_blank">incredible milkshake</a> doesn't get you in the holiday spirit, we don't know what will! Mixing raspberries and milk with chunks of fudgy brownie, top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and two straws for the ultimate summer treat.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="raspberry-chocolate-brownie-milkshake__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/raspberry-chocolate-brownie-milkshake__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>ultimate lobster rolls</h2><p>Does it get any beachier (or tastier) than a <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/ultimate-lobster-rolls" target="_blank">classic lobster roll</a>? Succulent lobster, fresh lettuce and squidgy brioche buns will transport you straight to the coast of New England.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="lobster-rolls__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/lobster-rolls__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Cornish pasties</h2><p>Whether you bake your own or buy them fresh, <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/cornish-pasty" target="_blank">the humble Cornish pasty </a>is the ultimate seaside lunch thanks to its easy-to-eat design and coastal origins. The savoury meal-in-a-pie from Cornwall is not only famous around the world, but also an art to perfect. Traditionally eaten by Cornish miners at lunchtime, the pastry contains a whole meal all wrapped up in one, with that iconic crimped crust to hold on to so they didn&rsquo;t have to worry about handling their food with coal-covered hands.</p><p>In order to be able to be named such, a Cornish pasty must contain beef, potato, swede, and onion all wrapped up in a shortcrust pastry case. <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/cornish-pasty" target="_blank">Our take on the classic</a> contains just that (if it ain't broke...), so you get that classic taste of the seaside no matter whether you're on the sand or on the sofa.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/cornish_pasty__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Mr Whippy ice cream</h2><p>You know it&rsquo;s summertime when you can hear the faint tinkle of the ice cream van driving around. But if your <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/whippy-style-neapolitan-ice-cream-cones" target="_blank">Mr Whippy</a> doesn&rsquo;t stop on your street corner, here&rsquo;s how to make your very own swirly soft-serve at home. Pick up some wafer cones and - of course - some chocolate flakes to complete the look.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/neopolitan-whippy__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Ice lollies</h2><p>If you&rsquo;re more of a lolly lover, then don&rsquo;t worry — we&rsquo;ve got you covered too. <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/strawberries-and-cream-mini-lollies" target="_blank">These fruity, creamy popsicles</a> are packed with fresh strawberries and whole milk - a perfectly refreshing, low-sugar alternative to the ice-cream man's mini-milk!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="strawberries-and-cream-minis__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/strawberries-and-cream-minis__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Fudge</h2><p>While you might think fudge is one of those things that takes years of practice and patience to master, <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/the-experts-guide-to-making-fudge" target="_blank">there are plenty of techniques</a> to simplify the process and have fudge setting in the fridge in no time. </p><p>From adding chocolate to help it set, like in <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/really-easy-chocolate-fudge" target="_blank">our deliciously simple chocolate fudge</a>, or <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/peanut-butter-fudge" target="_blank">stirring through peanut butter</a> to add depth of flavour and an incredible, silky finish, there are many fun ways to experiment with this classic seaside treat. In fact, you&rsquo;ll never want to buy a box of the ready-made stuff again!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="imageRecipePeanutButterFudge-2x__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/imageRecipePeanutButterFudge-2x__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Homemade doughnuts</h2><p>There&rsquo;s nothing like a bag of hot, fresh doughnuts covered in sugar and eaten on the pier. And next time that sweet craving starts creeping in, you don&rsquo;t have to head to the seaside to fulfil your fantasy either!</p><p>Our delicious <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/churros" target="_blank">churros</a> are piped straight into hot oil then rolled into sugar, just like that amazing fresh doughnut machine at the seaside! Once they're coated in sugar, chuck them in a paper bag to complete the look.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="churros__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/churros__square_GL?scl=1"></p><p><em>Have our summer holiday snacks and meals got you itching to head to the sea?
