Peaches and plums are seasonal fruits until early October. Before, I always peeled peaches before eating them. When I traveled to Europe for the first time, I saw my husband eat peach with skin in Belgium. I was so surprised. Now I live 16 years in Belgium and always eat peach with skin. It’s so sweet and tasty! Try also the white, flat peaches from Spain.

I love artichokes. Before coming to Europe, I never ate them. If you use fresh artichokes, keep them in lemon water after peeling. Then boil for 20-30 minutes in water. Boiled artichokes are so delicious.
