Summer food, simply the best ...

This is what we eat during our holidays and I wish it would be like this  all year around. Just a simple visit in the morning to the local vegetable grocer and get tomatoes, peppers, avocado, white onions, fresh parsley ... Beacuse when you have quality products on your plate, nothing else is needed. Only add some local sea salt and olive oil and fresh peppar. If you feel like having meat or fish, tuna  or prosciutto on the side is nice. Water and chilled rosé and everyone are happy! Another appreciated platter when we go south are the local oysters wich have a different taste than the ones from the north that we usually have. I prefer these with lemon, whole-wheat bread and sea salt butter. To be appreciated with a glass off Muscadet, since we are in the south otherwise à Chablis!

French Baptisms

This is a big feast in France with the traditional cake and loads of champagne. Just look what a beautiful creation my friends brother in law has created! Amazing. A true delight with its crispy surface and its creamy soft inside enjoyed with a glass of chilled champagne. Elle est pas belle la vie?
