Provencal ratatouille with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers and tomatoes cooked separately and then combined, scented with garlic and thyme. The summer vegetable dish of the South of France.

Roman rice-stuffed tomatoes: the raw rice cooks in the oven inside the tomatoes, soaking up their juice, with potatoes all around. A summer dish, even better cold.

Neapolitan eggplant a funghetto: diced eggplant fried and then tossed in the pan with cherry tomatoes, garlic and basil. A tasty summer side, good warm or at room temperature.

Neapolitan zucchini alla scapece: zucchini slices fried and marinated in oil, vinegar, garlic and fresh mint. A summer sweet and sour side, even better after a few hours.
