Earlier this year I posted about Slidell's first Farmers' Market opening
after years of the city's residents resorting to travelling elsewhere for fresh produce.
Since its birth in April of this year, the Camellia City Market has grown and is still branching out.
In July of this year the market hosted its first live cooking demonstration
with Slidell native John Besh.
Hubby and I visited the market yesterday in search for wonderful Mediterranean food
from Pinnur Foods.
And we found it!
Lucky for us there was another cooking demonstration starting just as we arrived. The chef this week was Chef Scott Esteve from Abita Springs' Camellia Cafe. He was preparing oyster dressing. It was delicious.
We spoke with the people who run the Farmer's Market and they mentioned that they will have a cooking demonstration by the Redfish Grill in New Orleans. They'll be doing jumbo lumb crab cakes. I'll definitely be there.
On December 13th the market will be offering cookbooks signed by one of my favorite Louisiana cooks Marcelle Bienvenu and Judy Walker from the Times Picayune.
The cookbook being offered is "Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes for Recovery From The Times-Picayune of New Orleans" and has 250 favorite authentic recipes from home cooks, restaurants and chefs, and tells the stories of those who lost the recipes and those who shared them so generously.
So if you're in the Slidell area on a Saturday morning, make the effort to visit the Camellia City Market from 8 am to 1 pm. It's worth the trip.

Tom on a Trump Victory
Truth be told, I almost think that what America needs is a Trump victory in 2024. Sometimes a person just needs an emema. It'll hurt...

Although it has been open for over four years now, there really wasn't a lot of hoopla about the reopening of the "Bay Bridge"...
