Since we planted our tree a few years ago I’ve been looking forward to being able to make a Bellini with homegrown peaches. The Bellini is a delightfully simple cocktail made by combining peach puree with Prosecco. The sweetness from the peaches pairs with light Italian sparkling wine to create a refreshing drink that’s perfect for brunch or early afternoon.

An espresso martini is a dangerously delicious drink. The first time Mark and I tried them at Opera Bar on the Sydney Harbour, we liked them so much they became our drink of choice for the evening. While, at the time, it wasn’t unusual for us to have half a dozen drinks over an evening, it was unheard of for us to have six espresso shots.

Fresh raspberries have to be one of my favourite luxuries. I look forward to raspberry season every year and try to wait until the prices for the little punnets come down a bit before I indulge. The Clover Club is the very best way to use fresh raspberries.

Our kids eat all the strawberries we grow as soon as they’re ripe. A lot of them don’t even get the chance to ripen before they’re plucked by hungry little fingers.

The good news? You only need four strawberries for this delicious daiquiri recipe. Our kids had a sleepover at their nana’s this week, which gave me an opportunity to swipe a handful for frozen strawberry daiquiris.
