Courgette Ribbon, Strawberry & Shamembert

The most summery of the five recipes, and unapologetically so. Courgette shaved into ribbons, almost translucent, with a freshness that feels made for warm evenings. Sliced strawberries for a sweetness the balsamic keeps honest.

And Honestly Tasty's Shamembert: that bloomy rind, that cloud-soft interior... a cheese that belongs exactly here, on a plate this pretty, in this kind of weather. Almond flakes for a little texture. Done in five minutes. Looks like rather more.
