One of the things I've found about living on the opposite side of the hemisphere to the large part of the world's population (food blogging population, that is) is that the seasonal produce is always reversed. So, when most people are making berry tarts and churning out fresh fruity sorbets I'm in the land of apple pie and pumpkin cake. For someone who really prefers summer heat over the winter chills, it gets incredibly irritating.
It also means this time of the year is absolutely fantastic.
Sydney's strawberries have been off the charts cheap recently, which means the house has turned into strawberry palooza. There has been an abundance of chocolate dipped strawberries, fresh fruit salads studded with chunks of pineapple and bright ruby strawberries, and this lovely strawberry summer cake.
