Summer Market Bounty - Heirloom Tomatoes


Who could resist? Every Tuesday I get one of these crates full of the most beautiful assortment of heirloom tomatoes at Vaison's Provençal market. We are suffering a real heat wave here in Provence right now so this is the perfect summer food - cut up into a colorful summer salad, served with mozzarella or burrata, black basil cut into a chiffonnade, our own, very best olive oil, some sea salt and pepper fresh from the mill. Summer bliss!

  2. Yum! I remember the lovely tomatoes we had last summer in Provence! Looks like I'll miss out this year since we are now down under. Enjoy!

  3. What a great assortment of heirloom tomatoes. I can imagine how good they would taste for lunch. Hopefully, your heat wave has ended and you are enjoying slightly more temperate weather. Hope all is well.

    1. We had a slight heat break in the form of Mistral for two days Michel but now it again is hot, hot, hot.
