Saturday morning found us at the Wanganui Farmers’ Market, which has a gorgeous riverside setting right in the heart of Wanganui. Also known as the River Traders Market, I need to have a brief rant about my love for their reusable ceramic coffee cups: a really awesome example of clean, green kiwi ingenuity!
It also helps that the Market has some fantastic coffee to fill the cups with – many thanks to our neighbors for the day, Havoc Coffee, for all their help and delicious caffeine fixes! Also a big Hello to Mary’s Pantry – their Cornish pasties are to die for. I may have to make a special trip back to Wanganui just to have another, they are well worth the effort 🙂
There was quite a crowd at the Market to check out the culinary skills of Chris Fortune, and taste some of the delicious Wanganui produce on offer, which certainly didn’t disappoint.
A brief aside = I am totally converted to the Dotto Sauces which were provided by Jane, our fantastic kitchen volunteer – if you ever get a chance, try her Casablanca Sauce!! Jane runs Dotto Catering, so if you are ever hungry in Wanganui then her Gourmet Sandwich stall is the place to visit – find them at the River Traders Market on Saturdays, or on Main Street during the week. There was a great range of other products available too, some of which were brand new to me :
All around, a wonderful day in Wanganui: Check out the recipe below and the video for all the details of what Chris Fortune created from the uniquely Wanganui produce. Until next time! -Kylie + Blair-
