There are a number of juice bars in town, but unfortunately a lot of them try to get away with pouring you some pasteurized juice from a bottle. If I am going to hit the juice bar, I want them to really get the juice out of some real fruit for me, which is one [...]

Sunday Recipe: Raw Arugula Soup
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Organic, Raw, Recipe, Soup, Sunday on January 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Arugula is pretty easy to come by here in Paris. And I think at 14€ a kilo even President Obama would approve! I paid 78 centimes for the organic arugula in this recipe. Arugula is an excellent source of antioxidants, rich in vitamins A and C, folic acid, calcium, manganese, and magnesium. It contains carotenes and [...]

On Friday afternoon the city got some warm air for the first time in what seems like ages and I got the urge to head to up to the Bassin de la Villette and visit the Canal Bio food co-op to pick up my groceries. (Also, the Naturalia down the road that I usually walk [...]

If you can read French, or would like some practice trying, this book, Paris Bio, is an invaluable resource. It lists and reviews over 150 organic restos, groceries, wine stores, bakeries, beauty, déco, etc. along with contact info and store hours.

Film: Nos Enfants Nous Accuseront

Too often, organic food can be criticized as some kind of Bobo trend. That’s why I was impressed by the theme of Jean-Paul Jaud’s new film Nos Enfants Nous Accuseront [Our Children Will Accuse Us], where he tackles the issue of the great number of diseases linked to environmental pollutants and the efforts of a small [...]

I was walking up Rue Debelleyme from Rose Bakery when I looked up and saw this big sign. I thought to myself “What could this be? I need to find out right away!” My heart started beating faster like a true grocery store addict and I decided to go in and check it out. Well, [...]
Buckwheat Crêpes

Oh, it must be so easy to be a vegetarian, wandering around town eating eggy crêpes dripping with cheese or Nutella hot off the steamy grill whenever the fancy takes you. Of course, a vegan can always make her own crêpes, but when you crave a bit more convenience I really recommend the ready-made organic [...]
Vegan Soaps and Creams

When you eat vegan, you also start thinking about what you’re putting on the outside of your body. After all, your skin is your largest organ. So I am a bit particular about the soap I use. I had heard a lot of good things about the company Lush. It’s absolutely great that they are [...]

I love the Marché Raspail
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 6ème, Markets, Organic, Sunday on November 28, 2008 | 6 Comments »
There are many excellent markets in the city, and it is often possible to find a stand specializing in organic produce, but the Raspail Organic market [Métro Rennes, Sunday, 9h to 15h] offers much more. For starters it’s all organic, and even heavily biodynamic so there is a lot to choose from. But it is [...]
