Berries

We’re pretty lucky in Australia, thanks to the versatility of climate, that we get Australian grown berries all year round. The Victorian season runs from late-spring, across summer and into Autumn. But handily, when Victorian berries take a pause over the colder months, beautiful stock is still available from Queensland.

If conditions are good, there is usually a seamless handover between growing regions.

Fresh Strawberries, Raspberries and Blueberries are always a beautiful addition to a whole range of dishes. But also look for Blackberries, which are almost always cheaper than “the big three,” and are super versatile. Blackberries are delicious in sweet recipes of course, but their tang also goes great in savoury dishes, like ceviche or alongside rich proteins like duck. Time to get creative
