Menu of the week: recipe ideas from Monday 19 to Sunday 25 August

We take advantage of the last days of vacation to cook summer fruits and vegetables in appetizing colorful plates. Between eggplants, zucchini, peppers or cucumbers, we stock up on vitamins while watermelons, apricots, strawberries and even nectarines, bring us sweetness and freshness. We therefore rely on frozen desserts, perfect for cooling down, original and gourmet salads, and delicious summer dishes enhanced with fresh herbs.
