If chilly days and frosty nights have you yearning for heart-warming meals packed with flavour and enriched with healthy goodness then now is the perfect time with winter vegetables at their peak!
Versatile root vegetables are the stars of the kitchen in July. Celeriac, parsnips, swedes, potatoes, kohlrabi, Jerusalem artichokes and turnips transform humble casseroles into nutritious feasts.
Tangy citrus is in abundance. Pink-fleshed grapefruit, juicy tangelos, tangy lemons and sweet eating Navel oranges are now at their peak for quality and value. Come late July you can look forward to Seville and Blood oranges. Hass avocados are at their seasonal best for quality and price.

This week’s hero is the juicy pear, currently streaming in from Stanthorpe and Victoria. While biting into a crisp, juicy pear is an ultimate delight, they taste equally delicious poached for dessert, or in salads. Select firm, clean pears that are free from cuts. Pears should yield to gentle pressure around the stem and body when ripe. If you like a crunchy pear, then eat it straight away; but if you enjoy a soft pear, then leave it for a day or two on the bench until the texture changes |
