    <description><![CDATA[Every July, the Okanagan stone fruit starts arriving and the kitchen at Sugar Summit Drive shifts into a different gear. Peaches, nectarines, sour cherries, Italian prunes: they come in fast, they are at their best for about two weeks, and then they are gone. Cooking with them well means paying attention to that window and not trying to stretch it.]]></description>
