New Zealand Food Markets/ Shopping for Fresh Goodies and French Batard-Part I


By Al Dente Gourmet-Cooking for all Occasions|Simple Extraordinary Meals (Visit website)



One of the most incredible Things about New Zealand is the unique freshness and Variety of foods. That's why today I will take you to a couple of Farmer's Markets-that I really enjoy - Yes!Farmers Markets are pretty popular around the country and people go to These places often. At these markets,you can see Beautiful little stalls packed with a variety of tasty selection of items, fruits, vegetables, delicious cheeses, artisan breads, spices, nuts, meat, fish, plants, and even more That you could imagine. Prices are pretty fair considering the freshness, taste and incredible quality of the products.
Last Saturday morning taking advantage of the nice weather, J. and I went shopping to the Farmers Market. So I decided to take my camera with me and take some pictures.Look at these fresh vegetables!
One of the stalls had these boxes full of fragrant herbs.I bought a couple of my favorites thyme and mint.I love cooking with Fresh herbs!...They make everything taste so good,don't you agree? 
 We walk inside the building looking for a French Batard and some Honey. They also were selling fresh pasta, delicious jam, deli products and even beautiful- aromatic artisan soap.
I stopped in another stand at the market, because I saw some extremely mouth watering Cheese! It had this rustic and elegant wrap, that immediately caught my attention.I couldn't resist the temptation to try some of the free goodie samples.So I tried the mozzarella and yes, I was in heaven! 

Part II
After visiting Parnell Farmer?s market we headed to La Cigale French Market. This is such a fun place to go. Paella, French Crepes, cakes, produce, etc. J. and I love this place!You can eat lunch there,while shopping for goodies.
J. first stop;the Gourmet Sausage Roll stand.
As you can see this place is big! It has a huge parking lot and also a coffee shop behind the open-air-market.
 Taking pictures while waiting in line for my Yummy reward to be ready:)
We headed home with our bags full of fresh and delicious stuff ready to be cooked!!!
