"I am always excited when peaches are in season, Such a versatile fruit which works so well in sweet and savoury dishes. You can swap the peaches for pretty much any fruit that’s in season. Pears, apples, figs and apricots would all work well. Don’t skip the chocolate though.. What’s a breakfast without chocolate? In complete in my eyes. Baked oats are great if you are entertaining. you can double up the ingredients and bake in a cast iron skillet. Place on the table for all to admire and enjoy!"
