When we showed my family the first round of photographs from this book, they all pointed to this as their favourite. I think it’s partly because it looks so accessible and easy, which it is. No rolling of pastry, and frangipane is so simple to master. I’m super-fussy when it comes to stone fruit, as my parents grew the most amazing fruit on their orchard when I was a kid. Plums remind me of our big old dehydrator whirring through the night, and waking up in the morning to beautiful sweet and sour semi-dried plums. While everyone else was having roll-ups at school, that’s what my sisters and I were eating! — Phoebe
