THE RECIPES!
MARINATED SMOKED SALMON WITH CITRUS
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
12 oz Smoked Salmon
1 1/2 Ruby Red Grapefruit
1 Navel Orange
1 Lemon
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Freshly Cracked Pepper
1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill
1 Teaspoon Pink Peppercorns
METHOD:
Drape the smoked salmon, by slice, on a platter. Drizzle the salmon with Olive Oil. Squeeze half a grapefruit over the salmon, reserving the other whole grapefruit for the segments. Squeeze a small amount of lemon juice on top.
Segment the grapefruit and orange and place the segments on top of the salmon. Then add a few slices of lemon. Add freshly cracked pepper, dill, and pink peppercorns. Et voila! Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 hour.
CHARENTAIS MELON + PROSCIUTTO
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
1-2 Charentais Melon (These are the smaller melons that originate from Charentes, France. In the States the closest would be a Tuscan Melon and I see those at Trader Joes all the time in the summer!)
4-8 Slices of thinly sliced Prosciutto
Freshly Cracked Pepper, Optional
METHOD:
Slice and de-seed the melons. Cut into slices, top with prosciutto. Serve with freshly cracked pepper if desired.
CHEESE TRAY + SALAD
Serves 4
*For a nice selection of cheese, I like to add a creamy brie, a salty blue cheese, and a harder cheese like a Tomme or an Emmental.
1 Head of Bibb or Boston Lettuce
1 Tsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 Tsp Red Wine Vinegar
6-8 Tablespoons Grapeseed Oil
1/2 Minced Shallot
METHOD:
Take the cheese out at least 30 min before serving to get to room temperature. Wash lettuce, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place in the crisper.
Whisk up dressing in a salad bowl. Add mustard and vinegar first, then slowly drizzle oil, whisking all the while until a dressing forms. Season with salt and pepper, then add the minced shallot.
When ready to serve, toss the lettuce leaves with the dressing.
CREME FRAIS WITH SYRUPY STRAWBERRIES
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
3 Cups Creme Frais OR this substitution below
2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup Sour Cream or Creme Fraiche
3-4 Tablespoons powdered sugar. Start with 3, add more if needed after tasting
1 Vanilla Bean or 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced in half
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
Fresh Mint Sprigs for garnish
Lady Fingers or another lightly sweetened cookie
METHOD:
Place strawberries in a bowl. Toss with the granulated sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, overnight even better!
If using the substitution for Creme Frais, place the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer, add sugar and vanilla bean paste, and whip on high until soft peaks form, then add the sour cream and whip quickly just until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve spoon out into some footed glasses, top with strawberries and syrup, garnish with fresh mint and cookie.

What a lovely video, Beth! Thank you for sharing!! Absolutely love getting to see France with you, while sitting in my chair here in the States 💕 You have such contagious energy and joy that just makes you so pleasant to watch ❤️
Hi Beth, I have only just discovered your channel and you have captured my heart. Your enthusiasm and energy is so captivating . Im now sending a lot of time watching your past videos. Thank you.
Please don't everrrrrr stop posting videos...your channel is my go to for anything to do with entertaining! Thank you so much for all the efforts you make.
We need to be good friends so you can teach me how to speak French. Wow! I love this video. Showing us the market & the food. Then coming home & showing us how to prepare it. Love the birds chirping in the background. I really like the t-shirt you bought @ the market also. Can't wait to see the next video. Safe travels Beth!
Hi Beth! In Belgium, we eat melon wrapped in prosciutto or other kinds of dried ham for entree, it's really good !

I live in the Midwest in the USA and my mother often fixed melon and prosciutto as an entrée. She added a little vinaigrette. We are Irish but grew up in Italian neighborhood. Maybe the Italians borrowed it from the French or vice versa.

or, if you halve a melon, you can pour some Port wine in the middle and have some serrano on the side.
This is so charming! I definitely don’t go to the markets enough here in America!

Greetings from Southern Ontario Canada! Just found your channel and I am enjoying it very much! My Grandfather was from France , your lunch is very much like the luncheon that l enjoyed at my Grandparents home. Lovely memories 🙂🍁
Beth..I was going to watch later with excitement but then when I saw you I just wanted to be transported right away.💙Loved hearing the useful french phrases at market. I DO THAT tour first at the supermarket too..for same reason.😍Will watch your kitchen part later💗so excited to join you!!.♡LA..
I'm so happy to see you shopping and showing us your life there! I can't wait until you spend Christmas in France! Lost of love Beth! (And you look so cute speaking French oh la lá!)
omg this looks so great, i love being able to live vicariously through these videos until the next time i can go to france!
This is exactly what my mother in-law does for food. I love Amora, every trip we return with mustard jars. The marinière reminded me of Brittany, where my boyfriend's family is from. They even have a famous brand: Armorlux. Watching your video makes me miss France.
This video was a sheer joy Beth!! Thank you!! I feel so inspired, relaxed, and full of light!
You are a very lucky lady, Beth! Thanks for sharing your house with us. Love that beautiful china from your friend’s grandmother, she would be happy that he found someone who really values it. Brilliant video and what a delicious lunch. Have a nice and sunny weekend in France!
Beth, I throughly enjoyed this video. The food looks amazing, so fresh and beautiful. What an amazing Summer adventure you’re having with your family. I’m so honored to follow along.
Beth, Thank You for the lovely French market. While we may not have access to all of the products, your hints are always so helpful.😀
Love vanilla bean. I like to save the empty pods in a separate bowl of sugar, the vanilla perfumes the sugar over time and the “vanilla sugar” it’s nice on many things.
This was a great and fun video to watch! You are just glowing Beth, with happiness, my father would put cracked pepper on his oranges, and sliced peaches in a glass of red wine while eating his dinner, my dad was born 1920, in Italy and came to Canada in 1956, my friends were so inspired by all the neat ways he would eat his fruit and vegetables

Ok, now I'm really jealous. Definitely putting Saint Gilles Croix de Vie on my bucket list. Thanks so much for sharing your travels with us, I'm enjoying learning about the culture.
French vendors and seller always give extra gift . I like it.
Oh Beth you killed me!!!! What a beautiful wonderful and inspiring video!!!! Bought back so much memories!!!! Haven't been able to go back to France for the last four years dying to go back and experienced once again the delicious and fresh food, the ambiance and the relax and more calm pace of the French culture. Please more videos like this, I can't have enough. Still drooling from that superb lunch!

So glad I found your channel! I am loving the French cuisine and how you set up tables for traditional French breakfasts! I want to learn more recipes, the French cuisine just looks more healthy, simple and fresh lol My stomach can't handle Hispanic and American food anymore it's too heavy for me.
Really lovely video... the markets in France are similar to Spanish and Portuguese markets, great produce...amaxing olives, cheese, etc... Thanks for sharing your "aventures française". Sending much love and blessings. ❤💖
I just stumbled across your channel and obviously I'm late to the "Beth" party. I've been binge watching ever since. As a commercial foodstylist that works with food all the time I find your show very refreshing and also very engaging to the viewer. Well done! I especially enjoy seeing how other countries entertain so thanks for showing that side as well.

Another fabulous and inspiring video. I’m definitely going to be trying the desert out, and the smoked salmon with grapefruit, orange and lemon drizzle over it with a small dash of olive oil. That sounds incredible. Your mother-in-law‘s vinaigrette sounds delicious, so another dressing to try. Thank you so much for this video, it was great to go on the adventure to the market with you and then come back and prepare lunch. I hope you are having a fabulous weekend. Keep safe and well. X

One of the best markets I had stumbled upon was in Paris. It was just like this and there was SO much variety of items, produce, meats, seafood, breads.. everything! I can’t wait to go back and shop the local goods!

It’s so beautiful market,thanks for taking us too🥰🙏
Wow! Thanks! That was wonderful! I felt I was right there with you!
You're so fun to watch, I feel like I'm visiting a good friend in France and they're telling me the tips and tricks of market shopping that only a local would know. I've had really fun French neighbors in the past, and a French BF for 4 years. I miss all of their traditions when it comes to serving food. I didn't realize how much I miss the French way to do things, so delicious and practical. Thank you.
I'm so excited now I get to live vicariously through you.

Hi Beth I really enjoyed your video and your simple lunch. Its very true hère in France everything is such good quality and so délicieuse with a minimum of ingredients. I love my local market hère in France on the cote d'azur where I have lived for over 40 years. The best tapenade is made with green olives and you could probably add some caviar D'aubergine. Next time you go to your local boulangerie they will probably have bags of croutons made with the left over bread from the day before I have never seen your cheese cake served for desserte here, but I often buy it for my Quatre heure, after all I am English and still enjoy a cup of tea.
