January is the month for tasty summer salads and picnics with fresh seasonal fruit. Your local greengrocer is well stocked with all the summer lines of fresh produce. While the children are at home during the break use fresh fruit as a healthy snack for between meals.
Grapes, citrus, stonefruit and all the berries are favourites.
