We are just back from a very wet morning at Pyrmont Markets where Tim and I were selling our venison. And while the weather wasn’t great, lots of lovely regulars came to stock up and stay for a chat. I also had a great morning on the shopping front bringing home a box of beautiful micro-herbs and edible flowers from Darling Mills, fresh feta from Pecora Dairy, fresh broad beans and kipflers from the Southern Highlands.
All of the this went into a pretty little salad (above), dressed only with grassy green extra virgin Kimbri olive oil produced by Mum and Dad (you can order it via this address).
We also brought home a fennel and pork salami from Feather and Bone, and it was just delicious. Then it was a little bowl of Turkish delight mastic ice cream from market first-timers Booza, topped with a few segments of blood orange.
Usually we head straight home to Orange after the markets but this weekend we’ll stay with my parents in the city and take the kids for a bus trip or two around town. Public transport is a bit of a thrill for Alice and Tom, it doesn’t take much to impress country kids!
Wow that all looks so yummy & pretty!!!
Your shopping looks amazing Sophie…especially the fresh feta! That bread also looks very good! Have fun in the city…our children would be fascinated by public transport too. Cant wait to take them to Sydney one day 🙂
Thanks Jane! We did a bus and a train and the kids loved both!
It was so great to see you guys! I’d love to use my piece of venison in a slow roast style dish like you recommended. Any flavours you would suggest over others? And your photos in this post are edible. Beautiful work Sophie. xxx
Hi! We loved seeing you guys too. Have a look at the Mandagery Creek Venison website for some slow cooking recipes, but otherwise if you’d like to roast it whole I’d do this – preheat the oven to 200, rub the meat with olive oil and brown well on all sides, then season and drizzle with a little more oil and pop in the oven for 30 minutes. Let rest for 10 then carve and serve. Sx
I wish we had a Feather and Bone-type shop near us. I haven’t had fennel and pork salami since we left the UK three years ago! It looks delicious. And I love all your collages Sophie. You have a beautiful blog. Vanessa (visiting from BYW). x
Thanks so much for your comment Vanessa. Hope you are enjoying BYW! Sophie
