  • This one's for Molly: there's now a French market in Green Hills called Little Gourmand...

    Little Gourmand

    Its stock includes assorted mushrooms, including truffles, in various states and styles of preservation. The samples today included a pesto with truffle oil. Me, I'll be going back for mustard and Kusmi tea...
