This Month: Making Fruit the Main Event
When fruit is in season, you eat it fresh. But you should also be cooking with it. I’m focusing on recipes this month that treat fruit as the star ingredient, balancing its natural sweetness across both sweet and savory dishes.

Here is a look at what I’m cooking right now:
- Banana bread with peaches, blueberries, and thick yogurt
- Tarte tatin infused with fresh rosemary
- Strawberry and fig pastries
- Ricotta and raspberry tarts
- Blueberry and apple crumble
- Plum tart
- Baked rhubarb topped with vanilla meringue
- Apricot crostata
