Fran, yes, a kitchen would have been nice… but then I would have to wash the dishes in addition to cooking! :( When we visited Barcelona, we had a kitchen and saved a lot of money, but didn’t eat as many local dishes as we should have…

You’ll be amazed at the selection of specialty meat, produce, bakery and great restaurants.

Definitely a foodie haven!

The best market I’ve gone to so far has been in Paris, but the prices were horribly steep. Haaaaay, I wish we had as good a selection here of produce and spices! So hard to find… and so mahal pa.

The tomatoes are evn cheaper than what we have here (set aside the travel expenses going there hehehe:P). And I am sure those tomatoes will make a mean marinara sauce or tomatoe soup.

I have a question for anyone who can offer me an enligthenment: is dill the main herb used in Greek cooking?

Thanks in advance to anyone=) The taste of dill was new to me when i tried Greek food before.
