Enjoying the Seasons with Everyday Items/Cold Pasta with Ratatouille/Living in Mashiko-Rainy Season

Thank you for your continued support 🌼
Letter of Life in Mashiko ~Early Summer, Rainy Season
This is the fourth time I have visited Yoshie-san's house.
Yoshie's garden always amazes me with the different scenery that changes with the seasons.
The moist humidity and gentle breeze was pleasant.
This time, she taught us dishes we would like to eat during the coming hot season.
Ratatouille made with fresh summer vegetables is refreshing and full of nutrients.
It is also recommended during the summer heat.
All of the recipes are really delicious and I have made many of them at home!
I hope you will try making them too!
