Tarian Pantry Kitchen Diary

Our focus is on growing, purchasing and cooking with good plant based foods. Food and cooking doesn't need to be complex. It's about enjoying the simplicity that nature has to offer and reminding you not to loose sight of where food comes from.

Farmers market weekly shop

The Tarian Pantry team have a pretty simple Saturday morning routine:
1) wake up to our body's natural alarm clock
2) Brew the perfect pot of tea
3) Visit the weekly farmers market for fresh local sustainable produce

Every week around Melbourne there are different farmers markets on. Whether they be in the grounds of the Collingwood city farm or the oval in St Kilda you don't need to travel far to purchase 'real' produce. On the third Saturday of every month, the local farmers markets are held in The Gas Works, Albert Park.

Armed with our baskets and bags, we arrive at the markets first thing to stock up the larder. Attached is an image of this week's shop.

On return home, we steamed the silverbeet, roasted the tomatoes, juiced the apples and pears, grated the carrots, steamed the corn and roasted a few potatoes. We are now half way there in the preparation for the week's dinner ahead. Doing small but effective cooking prep will ensure you eat well during the week and reduce the time it takes to prepare a healthy and nutritious meal.
