"Joli, joli, joli mois de mai, c'est ton premier jour, ça s'arrose. I want to see life in pink, pretty, pretty May" sang Bourvil, and we agree! May has been a long time coming, with all the pleasures that go with it - the days getting longer, the sun finally warming our skin, our taste buds awakening.
If the winter months have lasted longer than expected, it's now more than ever time to rush to the restaurant to enjoy, at last, the lovely seasonal produce. Here's to early carrots, crunchy radishes, blushing tomatoes, peas and green asparagus! And for dessert, the season's first strawberries and rhubarb creations.
There's no doubt about it, this May will make us forget the rainy months and launch us into the season of lunches and aperitifs on the terrace. It's time to pull out your sunglasses and browse through your repertoire, inviting friends to share a delicious meal.
