Shopping at the local farmers market this morning I came across these little beauties; a huge pot of field mushrooms that looked as if they had just that minute been picked. My mind immediately made the leap to Jamie Oliver’s insanely good Mushroom Soup recipe, and one trip to our incredible local French patisserie L’amour en cage for baguette and Bleu Auvergne cheese meant we were set for an epic meal.

I’m constantly reminded how lucky I am to live to live in a place where fresh, quality food is accessible, affordable and valued by so many passionate foodies (like me!)
