Autumn ushers in a season of rich, earthy flavours and vibrant produce, bringing an abundance of nature’s best. As the days cool, markets fill with Heirloom Tomatoes, crisp Pears, and the deep hues of Plums and Persimmons.

Persimmons are in season, chefs! These sweet, vibrant fruits are at their peak—perfect for fresh applications, roasting, or adding to salads and desserts. They hold their shape well and bring a unique texture and sweetness to your dishes.

The delicate, papery husk adds to their charm, making them as visually stunning as they are delicious.

Bursting with flavour, Cape Gooseberries offer a perfect balance of sweet and tart with a hint of tropical citrus. These golden, juicy berries have a vibrant, slightly tangy kick, similar to a mix of pineapple, mango, and a touch of tomato-like earthiness.
