Sitting outside in the park in summer is a great way to enjoy the season.

Another way is exploring the farmers markets.?? On our San Francisco Food Tour of North Beach\Little Italy and Chinatown, we think exploring the neighborhoods and enjoying the foods is the perfect way to enjoy the season.

??In our area, summer is the time for stone fruit, such as peaches, plums, nectarines and pluots.?? Pluots are a cross between a plum and an apricot and they are really good.?? The great thing is with all kinds of stone fruit, whether it is plumes, nectarines, peaches, apricots or pluots, there are multiple types of each.?? By multiple, I mean dozens.?? It is so much fun and delicious to try samples of each and see what kind that you like.?? On our San Francisco Food Tours, we get to see what the favorites of everyone are in each one of the neighborhoods that we explore. Some people make them into salads and desserts, however, for me they taste so good that I don??t think that anyone needs to do much to them.?? In other words, just each them as they are.?? The great thing is when they are season, I like to sit out in the park and just munch on them.?? Along with a glass of white wine, it??s the perfect way to enjoy the summer.
