My favorite little market when I was living in Toulouse, from late summer till early winter. I miss my kitchen and my friend Bastien who took me to this market one Saturday morning. It is in a little garden called Jardin Montplaisir, and we took the scooter there while it sprinkled a bit of rain. All the producteurs use sustainable, ecological and permaculture methods, and even forages. The most beautiful items you will ever see, from one producer of bread, to oysters, to squash. Just one of each, and the BEST where you don’t even have to choose. My favorite part is to take a rest, have a coffee from the 3 seat shack “cafe” which is when I took this picture, and admire the community garden in the back. Then before I leave I make sure to do my second rounds, but only enough for us to carry on the scooter since we live up a big hill and can’t afford to be weighted down.

The art of bread making, still to be mastered - starting with a simple French everyday loaf, just salt, levure (yeast), organic flour ble 65, and water.

Once a month, I try to host a meal for my staff here in Los Angeles. It’s nice to take a breather, talk through these strangely slow and stressful times face to face. We are cautious and careful for each other, and I do what I like to do and that is to cook. Last month for May we had my favorite dish ~ clams in brown butter + dry vermouth with spaghetti and blistered cherry tomatoes on the vine. We were in a patio in Los Angeles channeling Northern Italy, probably somewhere along the coast. It was warm, and we shared a bottle of cold white wine.
