The Idea

Ok, so... i live in the south of france and in the nearby town there is a fantastic local market>

In the Winter months it contracts but never dies, somewhere at the start of Spring you find it is already expanding, in mid summer it is chaos and you only notice an absence of tourists in the autumn - though already some stalls have fallen away.

My diet is largely based on what is available there each week and as the months progress the ingredients of the recipes develop.

What you will find here is the market and the dishes it inspires over a year, this year, 2009.
