Preparation

  1. Cut the watermelon into thin strips, about the thickness of a dice.
  2. Wrap this with ham in plastic wrap.
  3. Cut into neat cubes so you get a small checkerboard, that's the old-fashioned ham and melon. 

  1. Clean the langoustine.
  2. Briefly roast with a nice fennel frisée on top.
  3. Slice raw and dress with some dressing.
  4. Sprinkle with basil, fennel, and verbena.

  1. Cut the tomatoes into pieces.
  2. Place them in the freezer overnight until completely frozen.
  3. Let the tomatoes drain slowly in a cloth until all the liquid has run out.
  • Tip: season with a little coarse sea salt before freezing, this draws out the moisture.
