Blueberries have been popping up at my local fruit market for a few weeks. They seem to be getting plumper and sweeter by the day, which has led me to break out all my summer blueberry recipes. One of my family's favorite creations is this blueberry soup recipe, invented after a long day at the local pick-your-own berry patch. Done in the European style of fruit soups, it's not too sweet, and it gets its richness from an infusion of creme fraiche. Bon appetit!

This year, May's temperate weather has inspired me to create a light lunch menu, the kind to enjoy on the patio during a sunny afternoon. Most of the recipes are quite easy to put together and have a casual appeal tailor-made for a late spring meal. Bon appetit!

Watermelons are vine-ripe and sweet this time of year. Served fresh and sliced, they're the height of summertime flavor. For a different twist, try this grilled watermelon recipe. The smokiness from the grill added to the intense sweetness of the melon makes it an excellent pick to serve at barbeques. Make sure to check out the creative serving suggestions in the recipe! Bon appetit!
