Polenta gives this wonderful citrus-laden cake an interesting texture.

In the depths of winter, when the frosty grass crackles under my gumboots and the icy-cold southerly cuts through my woolly layers, it’s stonefruit I’m dreaming of.

A Golden Queen peach, plucked straight from the tree, still warm from the summer sun. Nectarines, smooth and red, and sweet and sour on the tongue. Cherries, eaten by the bowlful with our kids out under the kōwhai tree, counting the tiny stones as we go.

And when we’ve eaten our fill of these fruits straight from the tree, then off to the kitchen we go to whip up the recipes that follow.

NECTARINE, HALOUMI & HAZELNUT SALAD
