My love affair with figs started a few years ago and was only enhanced this September..when we went here..
and stayed here..
We had figs on les lieux..To pick from trees and savour~
Peek through the entrance by the gourds..there it is~
I was overjoyed to find figs yesterday..perfect figs..
My friend had recommended Mout de Raisin for fruits and ice cream etc..I picked some up yesterday and decided to try it on figs..
A match made in heaven!
Wrapped in Prosciutto and served on mesclun and arugula salad..it was delicious!
A little bit of European heaven..on a terribly rainy bleak day here..
Sunshine and travel on a plate.
Saveurs de France et d'Italie~
pure art, you still are wowing me 8 years later~

Lovely photoes, M!. I was just reading about grape must in a new Italian cookbook recently. I understand it sells for a premium but is worth every drop.
ReplyDeleteMonique, I do believe you live a charmed life!! And it shows in your gorgeous photos. I'm in awe of your photo-taking talent.
ReplyDeleteMonique, a perfect post. I LOVE the first photo, the detail is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are lovely. It's sweet of you to share these memories with us.
Mad for figs! Have been scouring the markets all in vain. This has me ramping up the hunt & adding Mout De Raisin to the list. Bless you!!!
ReplyDeleteWow..you've wowed me..
ReplyDeleteFigs are photogenic..Like Lassie:)
Susan..it's more reasonable than a good bottle of balsamic that's for sure..the size of the bottle on my photo was ap $10.00..
And you drizzle.
I couldn't resist.
Thank you for your very nice comments..
