Snapshot of the Alain Ducasse Market at the Plaza Athénée

. April 13, 2010





Organised by Alain Ducasse in the courtyard of the Plaza Athénée Hôtel for the second year. On display I saw a wide range of excellent products. On the picture above the outstanding and seductive citrus fruit cultivated by Florence and Philippe Constant.

I tasted for the first time a "caviar" citrus with tiny marbles that explode in your mouth
The" Chimère"
Purple asparagus from Liguria


Edible flowers from Didier Pil ( Potager Petit Moulin)

Wild Strawberries cultivated in Spain. Usually when I hear fruit coming from Spain I run away... Rolande and Cathy Most settled in Andalucia and grow  fruit without the use of chemicals.
Nettle manure is used as an organic fertiliser.

Gorgeous pics, especially the purple asparagus. Nettle manure? That's new to me -- must research.

Quel talent pour la photographie !
Il faudrait continuer dans ce domaine et pourquoi pas se charger des illustrations d'un livre de cuisine. D'autres l'ont fait pour certains livres dont je ne citerai pas le nom, mais qui n'ont certainement pas votre classe.
