The simplest of appetizer

fig camembert bites

This doesn't take any cooking skills whatsoever. Really.

-Sourdough bread, toasted. Homemade if you have it.
-Great-tasting Serrano ham
-Oozing camembert (mine could decidedly have been bit riper)
-Fresh figs, cut into wedges

You can add a bit of arugula/rocket, or maybe a smattering of black pepper - but I don't think either is necessary. For another take on this, check out Johanna's picnic sandwiches!

and a cool dessert:
2 figs per person; cross cut but not split and squeezed until opened like a flower. Add some butter, a dash of cinnamon and perhaps a splash of rose water to the middle of each fig.
Bake in oven at 225 degree C.
Serve when they have cooled down for 15 30 minutes or so with ice cream.
