Friday market

Market day today, so I went to buy my lemons to make lemon marmalade. Six large lemons were 4 euros. Pretty good I thought. I also went to the mushroom stall. They only had about half a tray of brown ‘champignons de Paris’ left, so I asked how much for all of them. There was about a kilo, and she offered them to me for 4 euros, excellent value. Especially when she popped another handful of white ones in.

I then went to the veg stall and bought a 5kg bag of onions for 5 euros, and a very large cauliflower. I have a recipe for cauliflower steaks, which I’d like to try one evening, and with the bits left over I will make some soup. I also picked up a couple of leeks, for a chicken and leek pie tomorrow.

I just love buying the fresh produce in France and discovering new recipes, and the wonderful thing is Brian loves eating them.
