Menu of the week: recipe ideas from Monday 16 to Sunday 22 September

We are taking advantage of this last week of summer to highlight the fruits and vegetables of September, the last of summer and the first of autumn. We are therefore focusing on gourmet recipes that are perfect for resisting the start of the school year: original salads, full of vitamins, dishes enhanced with fresh herbs and comforting desserts with seasonal fruits. Between eggplants, kale, or carrots, we stock up on vitamins while tomatoes, plums, mirabelles or apples bring us sweetness and freshness.
