French Summer Brunch | Food & Wine

MENU: French Summer Brunch

Whether entertaining at his farmhouse or creating recipes for his Le Pain Quotidien cafés, Alain Coumont loves showcasing vegetables—even, sometimes, in delectable vegan dishes.

Basil Limeade Slushies

A splash of soda water makes these tart slushies pleasingly bubbly. With a little rum, they’d also make great cocktails.

Herb Frittatas with Minty Tomato Salad

These frittatas are so thin and light, they’re almost like crêpes. Alain Coumont serves them with juicy tomatoes tossed with mint, but nearly any summer salad would work.

Brown Rice Pilaf with Green Olives and Lemon

Alain Coumont makes this creamy (yet cream-free) rice dish with lemony Lucques olives and nutty organic Camargue red rice, but almost any green olive or short-grain brown rice would be terrific.

Summer Blackberry Custards

Alain Coumont makes these ethereal, citrusy custards with wild blackberries. Try them with blueberries, raspberries or pitted cherries, too.
