“You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients.” — Julia Child
These words come to my mind every time I visit the farmers’ markets in Greece. The vibrant colors of fresh vegetables in every shade imaginable and the wonderful aromas of just-picked seasonal fruit is a reminder of nature’s abundance waiting to be put into good use. Summer is the perfect time of the year to start cooking without recipes, using ingredients that look the best at the farm-stands and the outdoor markets.
Below are some photos from my recent visit to a neighborhood street market in Athens. I hope you are enjoying your summer so far, dear friends, and that you continue to get your cooking inspiration from summer’s plentiful bounty!
Love the pictures, Marilena! I want to be there!
Went a nearby farm market yesterday and I have a pile of veggies just waiting for a few fresh herbs and olive oil!
Have fun in Greece–saluti a tutti!
