What recipes to prepare on vacation?

To your baskets!

Holidays are the perfect time to stroll around the markets. Take your time to explore the stalls and discover local products. At the market gardener, stock up on sunny vegetables: aubergines, heirloom tomatoes, zucchini, etc. Don’t forget dessert: a few peaches, red fruits or a nice melon will do the trick. Then head to the charcutier and his regional specialties. Rillettes and sausages always work wonders as an aperitif. You can also take the opportunity to stock up on sausages for a future barbecue. Then take a look at the fishmonger’s catch of the day. Now it’s the cheesemonger’s turn. Run there to buy what you need to make an Instagram-worthy cheese platter. Rocamadour, Ossau-Iraty, Beaufort, etc. Names that are sweet to the ear and make our taste buds dance. A mandatory stop at the grocer’s before leaving. The perfect place to discover some local gems, especially if you are spending a gourmet holiday in Brittany or Occitanie.

Salty flavors are popular

The stars of the summer are obviously seafood. Fish and shellfish can be prepared in all possible ways: in the oven, on the grill, in ceviche, etc. Are you afraid of cooking a whole fish? Ask your fishmonger to cut it up for you, then you can cook it however you like. We take advantage of the peak mussel season to prepare them marinière or curry. For a trendy starter, we bet on ceviches.

If you close your eyes, you can hear the sound of the waves!

No oven, no hassle

Poorly equipped holiday rental or high heat, we skip the oven. The opportunity to get out the barbecue and plancha, to try microwave cooking or no-bake baking. Raw recipes will be your best allies: salads, carpaccio, tartares. They are both easy and quick to make. To avoid unpleasant surprises, only use extra-fresh products.

Fans of roasted dishes? You will enjoy our barbecue recipes. The embers will bring a delicate smoky flavor that changes from cooking in the oven.

To refresh your palate, finish the meal with a frozen dessert. Ice creams, sorbets, granitas, seasonal fruits are given pride of place.

In summer, we want deliciousness and simplicity. So, have a great vacation!
