With over 300 recipe ideas and many wonderful stories from the fruit garden, Tender Fruit tempts you to cook and bake with fruits.

"When I dug up my garden to grow my own herbs and vegetables, I also planted fruit. Before I knew it, a handful of small trees—plum, apple, and pear—joined some raspberry, blackberry, and currant bushes, along with strawberries in pots, alongside my potato, bean, and pea beds. This fruit became the backbone of my own bakery, the centerpiece of my cakes and baked goods. I even found inspiration for one or two jams. Furthermore, I began to use the fruit in new ways, from an everyday dinner with pork chops in apple cider and apples to a Chinese Sunday roast with spicy plum sauce. The warm family puddings and fruit ice creams we had always loved suddenly took on a delicious new meaning.".
