Summer vegetables
Peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, fennel: can you smell the irresistible ratatouille of Provence? Add artichokes, carrots, broccoli, chard, celery, ceps, lettuce and green beans to your menu this summer. In July/August, make room for corn, white onions and garlic, which will be replaced in September by cauliflower, leek, spinach, watercress, potatoes and button mushrooms.

Summer fruits
During the summer months, fruit delights us all day long. While cherries, blackcurrants and mangoes are still available in July, blueberries, raspberries, figs, plums, grapes and melon are consumed all summer long. In July and August, the focus is on apricots, watermelon, redcurrants, peaches, nectarines and nectarines. In August, we make room in our baskets for mirabelle plums, and in September for blackberries.

Summer cheeses
Summer cheeses - what a treat! The grazing animals feed on herbs and flowers that give their milk a powerful fragrance. Soft cheeses are particularly tasty at this time of year. We go for Brie, Munster, Livarot, Camembert, Maroilles, Époisses, Chaource, Langres, Pont-L'Évêque and Coulommiers. In addition to cow's milk cheeses, goat's milk cheeses such as Pélardon, Crottin de Chavignol, Cabécou, Chabichou du Poitou, Saint-Maure, Selles-sur-Cher and Rocamadour, and ewe's milk cheeses such as feta, are particularly recommended in summer.
Pressed uncooked cheeses will also be on the menu, as they complete their ripening process in summer. This is a good time to eat Morbier, Saint-Nectaire, Tommes, Cantal, Saint-Paulin, Raclette, Cheddar, Salers and Reblochon.
