Fresh

Before we moved to France one of the things I had been looking forward to doing was visiting local markets for seasonal produce, and sampling new foods. Since our arrival here fresh, local produce has become a part of our lives. Buying from individual producers, either at their farms or when they come to market, is central to how we eat. Even our closest supermarket, Intermarché, features local produce. But it’s how they take care of it that I love. Being near the vegetable counter always makes me smile, as whilst browsing the delicious, seasonal veg, every 30 seconds or so the displays are sprayed with a delicate mist of cooled water, which settles over the veggies. It keeps everything so fresh.

Over the coming weeks I will be sharing some more simple but tasty recipes that I have enjoyed cooking.
