France’s national holiday on July 14 is a fabulous excuse (not that we need one) to pull out all the stops and make a delicious French meal. Our favorite recipes for Bastille Day are ones that spotlight gorgeous summer produce like tomatoes, plums, and berries.

RecipePan Bagnat
Pan bagnat, Niçoise dialect for the French pain baigné, or “bread bathed,” is basically a sandwich version of the Niçoise salad, so called because the dressing soaks into the bread. Traditionally, it was a carry-along meal for fishermen and field hands, but it’s become classic picnic fare in France. -
RecipePlum Tarte Tatin
Traditional tarte tatin uses apples, but this 5-ingredient riff uses a much more seasonal fruit for summer: ripe, juicy plums. -

Recipe混合果酱
This flaky pastry is impressive-looking, with its slatted top, but store-bought puff pastry makes it simple to pull together. To keep the filling from being overly juicy (which would sog out the bottom crust), the berries are cooked to release their juices, which are then thickened with cornstarch.

RecipeSt-Germain Custard and Roasted Grape Parfaits
