We've just got back from our annual trip to Thiers, the Vercors, and Italy.  It was a most successful voyage, so come and see us on the market!  We'll be in Cap Ferret all summer, starting this Sunday June 16th!

Getting our stall ready for the upcoming season!  We're also in the middle of choosing our merchandise, so there will soon be new items as well as plenty of our usual products back in stock.  Come on down and see us on the market!  We will be in Castillon-la-Bataille and Libourne until mid June, and for all of you merry holiday-goers we will be at the Wednesday market in Cap Ferret the 17th and 24th of April.   Otherwise you can find us in Sainte Foy la Grande every Saturday!  

Hello everyone.  Great news:  'Tis still the season for oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and pomelos!  As a Floridian, I'm a big fan of anything citrusy, so I was thrilled to see all the orange trees full of fruit on our recent trip to Morocco.  It was during this same trip that I tried something I really enjoyed:  Orange slices with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top.  The association was delicious and refreshing.  So here's the seasonal recipe that I'd really like to share with you today!

Orange and Cinnamon Salad

6 oranges          

4 tablespoons orange blossom water

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon  

2 blades of mint 

1.  Peel the oranges while making sure to carefully remove the white skin.  Cut them into thin slices and remove any seeds.  Set aside. 

2.  In a bowl, mix together the orange blossom water and the sugar.  Set aside.

3.  Place the orange slices in a rose pattern on 4 dessert plates.

4.  Sprinkle the orange blossom/sugar mixture over the orange slices, then sprinkle over the cinnamon. 

5.  Add a few mint leaves to the top of each plate for decoration.
