Peach+Plum Tart The locally-grown peaches have been exceptionally good these year, and the plums have just come in, so I felt inspired to make a pretty and delicious combination tart with decorative raspberries round the edge.

No-Time Rustic Bread This is the fifth time I’ve used this recipe in various configurations, and this one turned out well!
