In the middle of July, it's hard to make a mistake. Everything is at its peak at the same time, and that's exactly what makes this week a little special \u2013 in a few weeks, the situation will have already changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what my to-do list looks like right now, and why I choose what I choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Berries.<\/strong> Swedish strawberries are on their way out, but raspberries and the first blueberries are taking over. I buy more than I think I need \u2013 berries work well in the freezer and save many breakfasts later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peas and beans in pods.<\/strong> Sweet peas straight from the counter, no cooking required. I usually eat them as they are, standing in the kitchen, often before they make it to a bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new potatoes.<\/strong> The real one, with a shell that almost comes off by itself. In a few weeks it won't be as new anymore, so this is the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lettuce and various herbs and leaves in abundance.<\/strong> Right now it's cheap, local and tasty at the same time \u2013 three things that rarely go together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dill, chives, parsley.<\/strong> The herbs are at their peak before the summer heat makes them tired and seedless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nutrition is not just about what we eat, it's about timing. A vegetable picked at its peak simply has more to offer \u2013 in terms of taste and nutrition \u2013 than the same vegetable two weeks later, transported and stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That's also why I try to shop less but more often this time of year. Fresh produce that sits in the fridge loses both its texture and its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If I'm unsure what to buy, I go for the smelliest thing in the produce aisle. Overly simple, perhaps, but it's surprisingly often true \u2013 smell is a clear signal of how freshly harvested something is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preferably nothing, honestly. The snow peas are eaten as is. The berries end up in the freezer or in a bowl, in a pie or straight into the mouth, perhaps with something whipped. The new potatoes are boiled whole, with a little dill and butter, and hardly need anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It's this time of year when the food does the work itself, and I mostly just get to enjoy all the glory, as it is, natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are you filling your kitchen with right now? Feel free to share in the comments \u2013 I'm always collecting new ideas this time of year.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n A forward push from me, In the middle of July it's hard to go wrong.
