"Extremely ripe peaches and big juicy ox-heart tomatoes are the kind of produce you need for this vibrant summer salad. Vendemmia (grape harvest) in Italy starts at the end of summer, when the grapes are bulging on the vines. Coincidentally, late summer tomatoes and stone fruit are also bursting with flavour, making this the perfect antipasti for the harvest menu." - Annie Conley This recipe is by Annie Conley

Yotam Ottolenghi's peach and chilli galette
A melange of flavours and textures delight in this must-try pastry from Yotam Ottolenghi, who says, "This peach galette is sweet, flaky and topped with a wonderful kick of chilli. As the galette cooks, the peaches nestle into the pistachio frangipane, flavouring the rich, nutty filling. Try to resist taking a slice as soon as it comes out of the oven – the galette develops in flavour as it rests, which is worth the wait."
