Hello from Australia. I totally love your newsletters. My family run a 103 yr old fig and quince orchard- sun drying/chocolate enrobing etc etc. it’s hard work but also a dream. In the off season we dry citrus and persimmons. I’d love to know how to candy/confit clementines- I want to perfect this, is there a recipe you can recommend or experts I should reach out too. Thankyou Sue. Singing Magpie Produce.

I love the simplicity of your garden dinner - oysters, sausages, cherry tomatoes. I think in America, people always feel like they have to make elaborate dishes or a big centerpiece main course and I love how most Europeans embrace simple things, such as a great roast chicken and new potatoes. I sometimes get caught up in "making" dishes myself, and this photo was a good reminder that often the best and most delicious foods are the simpliest.
