Those of us who are lucky enough to spend time on the coast over summer do so with optimism – swimming in a vast salty ocean, eating the freshest seafood and cooking outdoors as much as possible. In this issue, you’ll find a table set with seafood for entertaining and a veritable rainbow of seasonal stone fruit recipes, including a show-stopping no-bake crème fraiche cheesecake topped with plums and cherries.
We dip our toes into Maurice Terzini’s new trattoria in Byron Bay and chef Peter Gilmore shares his tips for cooking with water. We explore thoroughly modern mezcal and tequila cocktails by Reece Griffiths and Emma Crisp, and explain why now is the ideal time to add sours to your beer vocabulary.
