August is drawing to a close, bringing with it week 35 of the year — the final full week of summer. Gardens and forests still offer an abundant harvest at this time, making it the right moment to make full use of it.
The suggestion for this week is simple: each day, serve a dish made from ingredients typical of August. That means choosing seasonal vegetables, fruits and also mushrooms, whose availability and quality are at their best right now.
Seasonal produce on the dinner table
August is traditionally considered one of the richest months for vegetables and fruit, and it also marks the start of mushroom season. Using these ingredients in everyday dinners allows for a varied menu while enjoying them at their freshest and most accessible.
The idea of building daily meals around seasonal produce offers a simple way to savor what August has to offer one more time during the last week of summer, before autumn brings changes to what's available in the harvest.
