Sunshine, Lemons and Sea Salt by Donna Hay. HarperOne, 2026, $65.
Double-spiced Fried Chicken
“I like to start preparing this dangerously good fried chicken the night before, so all that’s left to do after a perfect beach day is a quick coating and cook up!” — Donna Hay
Radicchio and Pickled Nectarine Salad
“Nectarines are the star of this super-fast salad featuring crisp, slightly bitter radicchio, creamy goat’s cheese and a zingy juniper-spiked dressing.” — Donna Hay
Yuzu and White Chocolate Tiramisu
“This is my summertime tiramisu. The coffee has been swapped with tangy yuzu for a citrusy burst of sunshine to balance out the chocolate.” — Donna Hay
