My good friend Clara made Stuffed Eggplant with Tomato and Rosemary for me a while back and I managed to take some photos before we dug in. This meal was light and absolutely delicious I could not resist taking pictures of it. She also offered to share her recipe with me for my blog!
I love visiting farmers markets when I travel to different cities. Each of them has its own unique charm and character. The Saturday/Sunday morning farmers market in Le Mans has a vast amount of produce, seafood, and vegetables to choose from. With a very rustic feel everything is sold outdoors from tables and trucks.
The farmers market is located in central Le Mans about a 15 minute walk from the outskirts of Vieux Mans. I took many photos of the market focusing on the produce, meats, and people of the market. In Part 1 I am covering just the produce. I love the colours and the vibrancy of all the different fruits and vegetables.The number of different mushrooms available blew my mind – especially the chanterelles!!!
If you would like to see more photos of the market check out this amazing post about a fellow bloggers experience at one of Le Mans farmers markets.
More pictures after the jump!

Penne alla Puttanesca literal translation is “penne a la whore”. Who could resist such an interesting dish. This recipe is one of my favourite “make ahead” dishes that I can eat throughout the week since it gets better day after day. The ingredients are typical of Southern Italian cuisine: tomatoes, olive oil, capers, anchovies, and garlic.
