Trio of refreshing salads like a domino game:
#1 mushrooms, radishes, feta, sesame seeds and oil. GREEN ASPARAGUS
#2 GREEN ASPARAGUS feta, basil, pine nuts, lettuce and water cress with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. TOMATOES
#3 TOMATOES, cucumber, sardines, red onions

Early shopping for more refreshing vegetables and fruits that do not require a lot of cooking as the heat wave is hitting again... Besides eating light, juicy ingredients, avoiding alcohol, close your windows and shutters in the afternoon, enjoy museums and movie theaters...

Fish and vegetables: IN or OUT
OUT : ray "beurre noisette"with vegetable brunoise. Love ray fish and difficult to find these days. So I indulged. If service was excellent, fish was a bit dry so decided not to post about the place this time.

IN: roasted cod filet and fennel. Tasty, tender. All from rue du Nil .
Better buy juicy vegetables and fruits for the next days:another heatwave is striking...

Tomato discoveries during the weekend;
While shopping on rue du Nil I saw a display; Curious and social bee, I discovered a book signing team : “Jacky le roi de la tomato” who have been growing tomatoes for decades and the journalist photographer who edited the book.
Interesting chat : I could not resist buying it / another book on my shelves…
Explaining tomatoes, species, some recipes - not enough - , reference to the Conservatoire national de la tomate at la Bourdaisière and its annual festival, run by the owner Louis Albert de Broglie known as “Le Prince Jardinier” .

An incentive to visit the Tour region ? Loire Valley, Amboise, Da Vinci Clos Lucé, my friend. Joanna …

Merci Terroirs for organizing this. Of course I bought tomatoes, cooked a bit and more will follow especially with some stuffed tomato recipe recommended by Jacky.
