Try these market warmers – and don’t miss the upcoming Slow Soup Kitchen

12 June 2010

The Market will this winter host a special Slow Soup Kitchen on Saturday 19 June . Three to four delicious soups will be prepared by local cooks using local produce available at the market. You can try soups and pay what you think it’s worth – a ‘what you can afford’ approach. This is a special winter fundraiser to raise money for Slow Food projects. The Slow Soup Kitchen will operate at the Market from 8am until 11am, or until sold out.

And browsing and tasting the full range of hot food and beverages on offer at the Market is sure to warm the soul while the weather is this chilly. First stop on a cool morning is always for a good coffee. Jindebah Hills Coffee, a roasting house based in the Canberra suburb of Mitchell, sells around 700 coffees on a normal day at the market.

For a different comforting warm drink, try Real Chai. Owner Anthea Cahill has always got a 20 litre pot of hot chai on her stove to keep her market customers warm. You must try the deliciously warm and toasted Stikkie Bikkie. This traditional Dutch syrup wafer, known in Holland as a ‘Stroopwafel’, goes nicely with a hot apple cider made fresh with lemon myrtle and spices.

Nut lovers will melt over hot caramel macadamias from the Batemans Bay Nut Roasting Company, vegans will love take home soups and curries from Pilpel Fine Foods, and the list of tasty market warmers goes on.
