Picture post from l’Ile d’Yeu, France

by Peeter Pihel

Life is full of wonderful surprises – some time ago I got invited to a foodfestival Les Gouts Uniques to prepare  ‘Dejeuner au Vert’ on l’Ile d’Yeu together with Alexandre Couillon from Noirmoutier. So at the moment this is exactly where I’m at. I will give you more detailed overview once I’m back, so until then you can enjoy some pictures.

Les Gouts Uniques is the festival I’m participating

 

White tuna is a common produce here

 

Grave white tunafish with wild fennel and local salt

 

The island is also known for its potatos, that’s why we decided to prepare a Muhu classic – hapurokk

 

We will use those tomatos with white tunafish

 

Most expensive beets I’ve seen

 

Organic farmer Georges supplied us with vegetables

 

Georges had a strange looking clock – for sowing

 

We had dinner at La Marine
