Niçois Ingredients

Living room
Rent our Old Town studio!: Just upstairs from where the Petits Farcis cooking classes take place, we have renovated a charming holiday studio with a view of the 17th-century place du Jésus.
Ghibaudo
In praise of pork: Dinna and Laurent, the young couple who run Charcuterie Ghibaudo, are the kind of people who give me hope for the future of the Old Town.
Marmalade
Marmalade for Marie: Imagine my shock and pride when, having declared with typical cockiness that my jam didn't stand a chance against hers, my neighbor Marie admitted defeat and asked me for the recipe!
Artichoke
Tackling the artichoke: With leaves like Cruella's spiky fingernails and a spirit just as malicious, this is not a vegetable to be taken lightly.
Menton lemons
Menton Lemons: The lemons at the Cours Saleya market don’t look like other lemons — they are fat, irregularly shaped and juicy, with the leaves still clinging to the stems. What is their secret?
Reserve your market tour and cooking class.

Miracle worker

Hi Rosa,

I don't know how you describe what you do, but you can now describe yourself as a miracle worker! In the twenty-some years of my relationship with Francine she has only cooked two or three times and nothing very complicated. So you can imagine my surprise last weekend when I called home from a business trip to learn that Francine had gone to the market and was making: pumpkin soup, mushroom tart, and lentil and sausage stew. Now if she will only do that when I am at home to enjoy it!
