Turkey and shitake mushrooms stew

by jeroxie July 5, 2010

It turned out to be a really interesting market trip. Despite the very cold and wet winter morning, the turn out at the Collingwood farmers market was quite amazing. And I almost always bump into fellow food loving friends. As we walked in, we bumped into lovely @essjayeff with her bags full of fresh local ingredients. She gave me some useful updates about chestnuts and quinces. The two ingredients that were high on my hit list.

Meatless Day Challenge #8 – Summer vegetables

by jeroxie February 9, 2010

It has been really hectic with Chinese New Year just round the corner. This whole weekend was dedicated to CNY cookies and tarts. So there is no recipe this week. What I have is a tribute to the beautiful fresh vegetables that I bought from Veg out at St. Kilda farmers market. Some may say I am silly but I do get excited when I see a nice piece of meat. And I do get excited when I see lovely vegetables. Especially summer vegetables. They are so bright, colourful and cheery.

Summer lamb stew with potatoes and carrots

by jeroxie January 22, 2010

After a heatwave, I was actually glad that the weather turned and it dropped to 20C on Sunday. I do love summer but the heat was getting a little unbearable and rain is definitely most welcomed. With the cool change, it was time for stew. Stew is such a comfort food for me. I can have it almost everyday in winter. It warms the belly and fills the house with lovely aromas.

Goat gerlami risotto with wild mushrooms & nettles

by jeroxie July 5, 2009

It is always exciting to get home from the market armed with new ingredients and recipe ideas! Never had nettles nor goat gerlami ( the name of the stall holder is Gerry and it is a salami so he named it Gerlami) before. We love chorizo risotto so I figured I could use the goat gerlami. And since wild mushroom has a really deep earthy taste, it should be able to compliment the dish.

St. Kilda Farmers market

by jeroxie July 5, 2009

I’ve been enoying the trips to farmers market every Saturday lately. It is such a change from Victoria & Footscray market were most stall holders are too busy to have a chat and seems to be in a rush all the time.

St. Kilda farmers market (Peanut Farm Reserve, Chaucer St, St. Kilda) happens every 1st week of the month. As usual, it will be good to early. It has a really strong sense of community vibe. Toddlers running around, parents relaxing on the chairs and tables spread out in the middle of the market and the buzz of excited punters like me.

Slowfood farmers market

by jeroxie July 2, 2009

We did wake up early but Henry had to take a call so did not get there as early as we wanted. I only managed to take one photo as the battery went flat! Was really pissed off with myself. Anyway, it was a lovely morning. And I was not going to allow this setback to dampen my happy mood. Off we went with our empty bags and rumbling tummies.

Farmers’ market at Gaswork

by jeroxie June 21, 2009

There was a sense of excitement in the car as we turned round the corner towards Gaswork farmers’ market. Armed with our green bags, we walked through the gates and started our little fun and adventure. I was just like a kid in a candy store.
