What's In Season - August

_

_
August (California)
_
Local seasonal foods are tastier, fresher and more nutritious. Why? It’s because the produce has been harvested in the last few days and has only travelled a short distance to market. This means less packaging, processing and refrigeration. All good for the environment and your health.

Dear Sabina, as usual, the photos are great :) I love that cake with the fig (right?), looks just so good, ah, what the heck with the diet..I'll have 2 slices please! We never have fresh figs here..only dried ones. Happy week / weekend to you :)
