Cheese in the corner
We are having a rainy and cold week here on the Riviera, making for a dreary January! What better way to cheer things up than with some French cheese! Sego missed out on her favourite dish this weekend, when Joshua and I headed up to La Turbie to visit a new gourmet cheese venue that has...
Reliable Romy
One of the great things about working in the culinary field is finding the best products, and then getting to eat them. Not far behind these products you almost always discover an exceptional individual. Romy Gallucio, at my local market in Monaco, is one of those people. When I need some fresh ideas for a...

Some visits have been more successful than others, when we actually found producers themselves selling their products at the actual markets. Many markets have special days and areas designated for local...
Organic market in a parking lot?
Sego and I set out in search of an organic market near Monaco, and were directed by our friends at the Agribio to check out the organic market at St. Laurent du Var as one of the best in the region. We were more than surprised to find that the market takes place in a shopping...
