The Cooking is Still Good

12 February 2012

Le Marché Grenelle
Métro: La Motte-Picquet Grenelle.
It is open Wednesdays and Sundays. It is one of the biggest markets in Paris.  It is an open air market on the boulevarde de Grenelle under the overhead Metro bridge.
This is one of our favourite markets. There is a wide choice of produce and the quality is high.

When we went on Sunday, we were absolutely freezing. During this trip to the market and especially on our way back, we both felt the cold more than since we have been here. We don't know why that was. The temperature was -6 degrees and we have been out walking when it was  -9 degrees. For the first time, our feet and hands were chilled to the bone.













This is  un hors-d'oeuvre of black Russian bread with Béarnaise sauce, Lotte (Monkfish) and des oeufs de truite (caviar) and chives.


la paupiette forestiere and la paupiette provencale from local the butcher


the finished delicious  product with potatoes, onion and frozen peas





Geoffrey is interested
in Cassoulet, even if it is tinned.




Please watch the video on cassoulet.
