Anzac Day launches navel orange season. Early-season fruit tends to be paler and more tart than fruit that comes later: it’s perfect for a morning wake-up and to add to a salad of fennel, rocket and dried black olives.
Autumn fennel has the best flavour. Choose fat bulbs with fronds fresh enough to eat.
Eat packham, beurre bosc and corella pears fresh, poached or roasted before they get overripe and mushy.
Choose a healthy fat head of Australian organic garlic and plant the plumpest cloves five centimetres deep and a hand-span apart in full sun.
