I went to Reillane market
with my camera
and...
I have pictures of spinach in bags
and bunches of breakfast radishes,
mysterious varieties of tomato
and photogenic lettuce...
I even braved the incredulity
of French housewives
to photograph Jerusalem artichokes...
but I think that it is my duty
to share with you
the Wonder that is
"The Kitchen Man".
If you do not melt before
these images of mushroom brushes,
salt scoops and wooden tops
you have no heart...
and look at this!
Four sizes of mustard spoon...
seriously...who knew?

Oh!!
ReplyDeletei love The Kitchen Man!!
Thank you, for giving me these images to take to my dreams tonight!
:^)
The scoops.
ReplyDeleteOh,
the
scoops...
Sigh.... and sigh again.... and then sigh one more time.... no wait... I have to sigh again!
ReplyDeleteThe veggie brushes with their illustrations!
ReplyDeleteI have one of those scoops - in a flour bin - it makes baking so pleasurable and I think of the day I bought it at a market in France every time I use it.
ReplyDeleteSo much woody loveliness. I need at least three of each.
ReplyDeleteI must need all these things - especially the scoops..
ReplyDeletePlease send at least 3 of each! :-)
ReplyDeletefor some odd reason I am reminded of when I read "Scoop" by Evelyn Waugh in Italian - L'Inviato Speciale it was called. Having read it in English I was able to work out that a mazza spaccata was the Italian for a cleft stick. Have never used the expression in conversation since though.
ReplyDeleteWait, are those special mussel brushes? I'm sure I need one of those . . .
ReplyDeletewhat about the combo micro sewing kit thing though ?? I seem to remember that you splashed out on two of them, one for you and one for MissM
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while since I was in France but I do remember this type of stall at the marché. I, too, wanted one of everything.
ReplyDeleteMrM, you are a discovery each and every time you comment.
ReplyDeleteLa mazza spaccata is used probably every day by my hubby and his workers.
If you read in Italian then you must know it well.
Complimenti!

We need A Kitchen Man. Seriously. Send him over.
ReplyDeleteFour sizes of mustard spoon you say? They know how to live in Reillane!
ReplyDeleteOh. I am swooning. I am going back for another look.
ReplyDeleteWhen the children were little, my one stab at fantastic parenting was a treasure basket full of interesting items - a pastry brush, a plug on a chain, a tiny fat glass bottle - in a wicker basket for them to explore. You sent me right back there with this post, only this time it was me who wanted to explore.
ReplyDeleteI want them all!
ReplyDeletetotal wooden goodness as Susan said.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are amazing! French markets, eh? I'm surprised there's only four sizes of mustard spoon, knowing the French!
ReplyDeleteI remember an early post about finding just the right potato peeler to replace the one that broke. No wonder you are swooning!
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased I didn't see those. My kitchen don't quite shut properly as it is.
