Cherry supplies are steadily increasing, with an even bigger flush expected next week. Nothing feels more like Christmas and an Australian summer than a bowl of fresh cherries

Queensland rockmelons are perfect for fruit salads, chilled wedges, entrees wrapped in prosciutto or festive grazing boards.

Cherry truss tomatoes not only look festive but are bursting with natural sweetness, making them perfect for snacking, adding vibrant colour to salads, or roasting for a flavour-packed summer side dish. Look for specials at your local greengrocer

Softer and sweeter than regular cabbage, Wombok (Chinese cabbage) is a great value. Perfect for crisp summer salads, refreshing slaws, light stir-fries, or tossed into noodle dishes.

Bean sprouts are a fantastic way to add crunch and freshness to meals. Toss them through stir-fries, add to noodles, or try them in a vibrant Vietnamese chilli chicken salad for a quick flavour-packed meal.

A 1-kilo bag of versatile carrots is great value. Grate them into coleslaw, juice them with orange and ginger, or roast carrot batons with thyme and olive oil for a simple side.

Peppery summer radishes bring crunch and colour to salads and platters. Look for French radishes, watermelon radishes and stunning mixed bunches to brighten up summer dishes

Red onions are in good supply. They're perfect lightly sautéed, pickled or sliced fresh through salads and caramelised for homemade burgers.

Golden sweetcorn is a popular summer vegetable. For a delicious summer treat, try barbecuing your corn: gently peel back the green husks and remove the silky threads, then fold the husks back over the cob and secure with cooking string. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes, then grill over medium heat, turning frequently, for 15–20 minutes until tender. Corn tastes best fresh, so enjoy within 1–2 days for maximum sweetness

This week, crisp and versatile celery is a top buy. Fine sliced or diced in stir-fries, fresh salads or sandwich fillings, or combine with carrot and onion to add depth of flavour to risottos, stocks and sauces.

Crisp and fresh Iceberg lettuce varieties are well supplied and ideal for light, summer salads, burgers or lettuce cups.
