This tour was both educational and fun. After meeting Alexia at the outdoor market we strolled looking for just the right food. We opted for a local fish that she said would pair well with several small vegetarian side dishes.
After walking to her apartment, Alexia explained how she enjoyed experimenting with different ingredients to make a different dish. Without using a recipe, one of the creative dishes which she made (with some help from my significant other) was a tart with ricotta cheese and sun dried tomatoes. Another was a spinach pancake which, although it doesn’t sound great, was quite good, especially with some homemade non-dairy almond butter mayonnaise. Of course, my favorite was the homemade apple crumble dessert.
Afterwards we enjoyed the fruits of our labor and had a leisurely lunch with Alexia and a glass (or two) of wine. All in all, it was a delightful way to spend a morning and afternoon.
Since Alexia shared her recipes, we are looking forward to making these dishes at home. Enjoy…
