End of an era: The Pyrmont Growers Market closes on April 2nd and it is not an April Fool joke...

10/4/2016

For 18 years, it has been a monthly gathering of fabulous producers, dedicated food enthusiasts and celebrity Chefs showing their skills in well orchestrated demos. It has been a great help in my food blogger journey as it has given me casual access to the crème de la crème of famous Chefs from around Australia and sometime from further afield. Some of them have become good friends in the process. Also true of dozen of suppliers whose products I have bought, revised and promote (for free...) because they were outstanding and made with love and dedication.
Jill Duplex and Terry Durak, just landed from Melbourne at the time, started this venture in 1998, as they could not find in Sydney the equivalent of the Melbourne markets (and still can't, as there are no city based permanent daily markets in Sydney...) For many years, Joanna Savill relentlessly organised it, cajoling Chefs into spending their Saturday mornings entertaining and educating a smallish group of dedicated followers. I personally started reporting on these events in 2010. More recently, Joanna was replaced by the flamboyant Myffy Rigby, with the occasional help of the elegant Ardyn Bernoth. I was not going to miss out the last edition yesterday. Here is a series of photos and videos taken before and during the panel which was assembled to discuss the future of the food markets in Sydney. It was an interesting discussion curated by Myffy and Ardyn who gently grilled (!) the panelists: Josephine Perry (missy French) and dad Neil Perry (Rockpool), Jill Duplex (SMH), Ronni Kahn of OzHarvest fame and Somer Sivrioglu of Efendy Balmain and now at Barangaroo.

The funniest man at the market! And his figs are phenomenal!

Stephane, le roi du saucisson

The most magnificent flowers

The gorgeous ladies at Saffron Only

Gilles Bonin and wife Victoria selling their last lot of Garlic for this year...

Bloodwood for me Honey...

Echiré and Lescure beware!

Vous avez dit fromage? Formaggi Ocello

et dessert... Sweetness Central

The chairs are ready... The new Barangaroo development in the background, not there 18 years ago

The panel is sitting...

Look at all these famous people...

There were some interesting points raised and some proposals made as well as a quick appearance from Pepe Saya aka Pierre Issa.
The best story , I think, was when Somer recounted a conversation with his Dad about visiting the Growers Market, and his Dad asking "are they any other types of markets?. Precious!
I grew up in a culture and at a time where daily markets were the rule, and Mum was shopping almost daily for fresh food. We would then go to the butcher or the fishmonger, and the boulanger, bien sûr...
There is a petition running to open a permanent market somewhere in the City - Haymarket, Surry Hills and Barangaroo were mentioned. There were some "out of place " comments, I thought about the lockout laws and the cost of labour, but overall, it was all very civilised.
You will hear in one of the videos a talk about "imperfect vegetables and fruits" but nobody mentioned the good work done in that sphere by Harris Farm Markets. Nobody either acknowledged the great work done by Joanna Savill over the years, and she was visiting the market. I thought it would have been polite to invite her even briefly...
The quality of these videos is not perfect, but consider them as a record of an interesting way of sending off this 18 year old institution.

Neil Perry of Rockpool fame talks about imperfect vegetables.

Ronni Khan, the founder of OzHarvest talks about imperfect vegetables and fruits as well as food waste.

Somer Sivrioglu does a demo of how to open a pomegranate with his bare hands and remove the pearls without losing all the precious juice...
Joke of the day: What is stronger than a Turk? Two Turks... Sorry Somer!

Pepe Saya was invited to talk about all things butter and how this market (and Qantas...) helped him growing his business against European Community subsidised Lurpak. Neil Perry also managed to plug a ranting about lock out laws in Sydney, whether or not it was the right audience is debatable, but I like a man with a cause, and in this case two men!

We will miss this view forever...Good bye the SMH Growers Market

November Food Adventures in Sydney

Da Vinci Italian Restaurant

Sydney suburbia hides a host of interesting ethnic restaurants catering primarily for the locals, but for some, their reputation definitely goes far beyond. Da Vinci is a case in point. Prominently displaying its Italian heritage in a stunning mural on the main square, you could be forgiven for thinking you are in rome rather than Summer Hill, Sydney...
"we take pride in knowing every dish we serve is authentic, tasty and good for yu, jut like our mamas used to cook for us" says Nicola on their website... And it shows!
A group of Sydney bloggers were invited by Rebecca Varidel of Inside Cuisine and Sydney Scoop fame. And I was lucky to be on the list! We had many pizza and then their famous gelati

The pizzaiolo and his oven

The secret ingredient is the unrefined flour used for the dough of the pizze

iWe all know that a good pizza starts with a good base, and this one is one of the best I have had a chance to taste. Either Rosso or bianco, we sampled height different size, and the stars of the show were the dough and the fior di latte cheese. Even with no appetite left, we were all keen to have more...

And then, there is Gelatony... Tony originally from Sicily, first moved to Rome to open his first shop there and finally moving to Sydney 15 years ago and the rest is history, as they say...

The Gelateria

Fior di Latte and pistacchio

Matthew Evans at Essential Ingredient ROzELLE
& SMH Growers Market Pyrmont

Matthew Evans is a bit of a character - but most Chefs are - have a great sense of humour but is damn serious when it comes to advocate the provenance and the quality of the food you buy and cook with. I do not own a lot of cookbooks, but I cherish one of his - The Weekend Cook.
So, when I had a chance of meeting him in the flesh, at Essential Ingredient in Rozelle, I jumped at it and was lucky enough to get a second serving the next day at the SMH Growers Market in Pyrmont. He cooked simple things, but they were full of flavours and freshness. Here is a short illustration of his cooking and philosophy.

Matthew made Balkan sausages with a salad and it was delicious and fresh. You can find the recipe

ROOTSTOCK 2015 @ Carriageworks

Rootstock 2015 at the fabulous CarriageWorks venue

First time visit for this blogger to this event taking place in the heritage buildings of the railway carriages maintenance factory, now disused and transformed in a fantastic exhibition and event place. It was a great gathering of indigenous and local producers of all sorts of food and also a great exhibition of organic wines with a number of French winemakers represented by their local distributors or for some in person. It was a great way to recover from a bout of flu!

A large contingent of indigenous producers were represented at Rootstock

Beautiful oysters from the South Coast of Sydney from Wapengo Rocks

People were encouraged to throw their oyster shells into a traditional Aboriginal pit

Beautiful goat cheese from Victoria from Holy Goat

Moved had a very special helper Westerly from Alto Olives and EVOO extraordinaire

And then there was all the wines...

Victor Churchill started the trend - Harris Farm Follows! Colin Fassnidge and Mike McEnearney Are long time addicts of these "Curious cuts" of Meat...

Kong cut the 12-hour slow cooked smoked brisket for our meaty pleasure at Vic's Meat Market

Offals on display at Vic's Meat Market

Update on July 4th: Anthony Puharich - the owner of Vic's Meat Marketdid a demo of these "Curious Cuts" at the SMH Growers Market in Pyrmont today, explaining how to use them, cook them and where they were from in the animal. Great tutorial. Here are some photos of this event. He also cooked some braised beef cheeks...Looked delicious

Hanger steak, oxtail, tongue, cheeks and more....

And the liquids...

Et voilà! Braised beef cheeks cooked to perfection

Mike McEnearney from Kitchen by Mike cooking at the SMH Growers Markets

After promoting the "Imperfects Picks" for vegetables, Harris Farm now jumps on the band wagon of "head-to-tail" philosophy started here by Colin Fassnidge, the cheeky - some say feisty - Chef behind the success of 4 Fourteen in Surry Hills and Four in Hand in Paddington. Brisket, hanger, offals including ears & tail - a delicacy in Spain where they are reserved for the winning toreador - which are common in France's butcher shops and beyond, are becoming more popular in Australia, in part because of their cheaper price, but also because of their heightened taste.
Victor Churchill in Woollhara and Vic;s Meat Market at the Sydney Fish Market were also early promoters, as well as Mike McEnearney from Kitchen by Mike and James Viles from Biota Dining.
The good news, for me at least - is that one can now afford a "Bavette à l'échalote" and shared with friends and family a cut of meat which is rare but not dear here. In Europe, it is the opposite as price follows the rule "what is rare is dear", hence veal liver is almost beyond reach, but here it is -still - affordable. So, go and eat your hearty content of "Curious Cuts" or offals or other delicacies.

The Monday Morning Cooking Club comes to the SMH Pyrmont Growers Market

3/5/2015

2 Comments

Lisa Goldberg, left and Natanya Eskin (right) two of the 6 founding members of the Club

I came across Lisa Goldberg listening to one the famous interviews that Margaret Throsby conducts every day now around lunch time on ABC Classic FM, my favourite radio station.

Listen to it here!

So, when I heard that she and all the other members of the MMCC would be at the Pyrmont Market, I jumped at the chance to meet them, even though the meteo forecast was pretty bleak...
But, as serendipity has it, it ended up being a nice morning with barely a few drops of rain!
And meet, we did and had a great chat and even got a slice of their beautiful cake to take home!
They have been at it since 2006 and their main objective is to collate the best recipes from the Australian Jewish Community and beyond. They have published 2 books and rumour has it that a third one is in the making...Stay tuned!
But for today second cooking show (yes, I know, i never make it to the first one...), we were treated to a beautiful zucchini salad, an eggplant and Israeli couscous salad and the grand finale, fig bread and butter pudding. Enjoy the story through these photos before and during the presentation.

What was prepared earlier...

And more of the same...looks scrumptious!

What's cooking? what can you spot?

A delicious mess on the prep side of things...

They say "it's not work when you love what you do"...

And look who is coming to help? Marcello Ocello, talking rare unpasteurised cheese from Italy

And with Pepe Saya, butter churner extraordinaire earlier...photo Facebook

Lisa searching for inspiration?

Enter Merelyn Chalmers a third member of the Club, left and Myffy Rigby, the new Fairfax Good Food Editor

Merely tells us how she got the secret recipe of the eggplant and couscous recipe out of her Mother...Hilarious

Time to sell and sign these beautiful books...

Making good trade and it is all going to charity. Well done, ladies!

Turkish Delights at Everleigh and Pyrmont Markets

23/4/2015

Somer Sivrioglu preparing to cook a Turkish storm at the Everleigh market

Somer Sivrioglu is the happy proprietor of Efendy's, a great turkish restaurant in trendy Balmain in the Inner West of Sydney. I have visited quite early in the piece and have not been back recently, but it was a very happy and delicious experience. Hence why I was keen to revisit Somer's cuisine.
Also, Somer has just released a book, three years in the making, called Anatolia, part travelogue, part recipes book and it is a phenomenal book, beautiful manufactured and designed by Murdoch.

Anatolia: Adventures in Turkish Cooking

Somer and Mr PorkStar at the SMH Growers Market the following week

Barbara Sweeney had organised for Somer to perform at the Everleigh Market where she runs a regular stall called Talking Cookbook, where she gives free cooking advice to people visiting. Rumor has it that I might be invited along one of her next attendance and bring my own cookbooks...
So, here we go, watching Somer preparing two of the dishes from his book

Barbara Sweeney introducing Somer

The attentive audience with some very young people there

One of the dishes that Somer is about to cook, taken from his book

As Jamie would say, just some olive oil...

Frying the chopped onions while chopping the greens

Adding the greens and mixing swiftly

Adding the eggs and let cook for a little while...

And in the meantime, let's get on with a nice salad...

Somer showing off his big tool...it is called a shun and is used to mince herbs and vegetables

And here in full swing mincing cherry tomatoes and Spanish onions

Add some herbs and start again

Et voilà

And then, we got a lesson on pomegranate preparation, and it involves bashing the poor thing!

I warned you...

Mix everything together, season, add olive oil and serve in a cute silver dish et le tour best joué

And don't forget the eggs, they are cooked now...

It was a delight to watch and listen to Somer cooking his Turkish Deligths. I got a chance to taste everything and it was deliciously simple and earthy: the turkish version of cucina povera! Perfect!

Pyrmont Growers Market Welcomes Matt Moran

The new book of Chef Matt Moran: Matt's Kitchen Garden Cookbook

Matt Moran runs an empire of six casual and upmarket eateries in Sydney and Brisbane. I am a regular of his Opera Bar at The Opera House, a nice pre-concert dinner place or an afternoon jazzy place for a drink with loved ones. I will certainly pay a visit to his garden restaurant in the middle of posh suburb Woollahra, where this latest cookbook comes from. Woollahra is also home of the top butcher shop Victor Churchill, which has recently opened an annex at the Sydney Fish Market.

But before we get to his cooking demo, let's feature a few newcomers and some of our favourites regulars...and we will be starting with cheese!

New and Regular sTallholders

Small Cow Farm from Robertson - Southern Highlands

Camembert wrapped...

unwrapped

Small Cow Farm started in 2005 with a small herd of Irish Dexter cows. Nowadays their production encompasses brie and camembert style cheese, feta,, blue and a reblochon inspired washed rind.

They were sharing with Nimbi Valley Dairy up in Northern New South Wales who specialises in goat milk and cheeses. I will have to try next time.

Both companies, as well as Pecora Dairy also from Robertson are members of the Australian Specialist Cheesemakers' Association.

Nimbin Valley Diary Goat milk...

...and goat cheese

Nice queue at Ocello Cheeses...

There were a handful of wine producers at the market to celebrate the start of the NSW Food & Wine Festival

New addition to the market: Doodles Creek mayonnaises, sauces and dressings extraordinaires

The entire collection from Doodles Creek

It is still high fresh garlic season and Gilles and Victoria Bonin are selling hips. Matt used their garlic for cooking

And Pepe Saya is selling more butter...

This young man from Leppington Farm is selling his figs in an auction like theatre!

And even a new Japanese outfit

Busy buddies

And another happy Chef: James Viles from Biota Dining with gardener Roy and father Iain in the background

And Now, Let's Get Cooking with Matt Moran

Matt Moran at the SMH Growers Market in Pyrmont

Miffy Rigby, the New Food Editor for Fairfax Media, introducing Matt Moran to the crowd

MIffy Rigby has worked in food for nearly two decades as a cook, journalist, editor and events host, and at Fairfax will also work across the The Sydney Morning Herald Pyrmont Growers’ Market and NSW Food & Wine Festival presented by Citi.
She was national chief food and drink critic for Time Out Australia and appears on several radio and television programs, including as a guest judge on Masterchef Australia. She has also judged the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, the World’s 50 Best Bars, and various national cocktail competitions. She has travelled widely and hosted countless events, including Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, What a Wonderful World and Taste of Sydney. Welcome!

Matt was entertaining the crowd with stories of his apprenticeship, recalling that he thought he would never make it to the grill and was amazed when he first managed to crack an egg with one hand! He certainly knows how to crack a joke as well!

Chef Matt Moran getting down to business....

Matt gets the full attention of the crowd

Matt Moran did give us a great show, cooking four dishes in a record time. Two salads: Burrata, tomato and cucumber salad and a fig and goat cheese salad, then two meats: Sirloin grass fed and a duck and mango contraption, which I wished I had been allowed to taste! Also, a quick comment on these photos: due to the enormous crowd, it was really difficult to get the right angles and the closeness I usually achieved and I had to use my longer zoom lens all the time. Sorry folks...

Matt did get all the ingredients from the market and adapted some of his recipes to accommodate what was available. Hence the name of his new book and the philosophy behind all his cooking.

The two salads are ready

And the sirloin is served...

Finally got a good vantage point, just in time for the duck to be seared with mangoes

Happy camper...who jumped the queue

SMH GROWERS MARKET - PYRMONT

Gilles' Garlic - a happily married Frenchman and his bride and their garlicky results!

"El sympatico" owner of Pappardelle Pantry on his third month at the markets. Bravissimo!

The good people of "Block 11" growers of magnificent organic vegetables

The market population of stallholders is pretty stable at this monthly gathering. But today, the attraction is on stage again as we are meeting the legendary Stephanie Alexander, the godmother of Australian cuisine, launching a new revised and augmented edition of her most famous book "The Cook's Companion" which allegedly graces the shelves of 600,000 kitchens. SMH ran out of copies to sign before 9.30 am when I got there for the second "apparition" on stage of "Sainte Stephanie of the Kitchen"! I have been a regular at her Richmond Hill Café & Larder in Melbourne and my friend Janine S. works occasionally for her Kitchen Garden Foundation, now active in almost 800 schools around Australia, but I had never met her in person. Well this is no longer the case as of last Saturday!

The Cook's Companion 2014 is nowhere to be seen...(gned), but there are plenty more on offer

KINGS CROSS ORGANIC MARKET

The world famous Kings Cross Fountain

I have not visited this market for a while and having dropped my daughter at Bills in Surry Hills, it was an opportunity to zoom by before heading back home. It was still quiet as it was before 10.00am, but most of the usual suspects were there with the notable addition of my friends from Commissary Kitchen
and that will be the start of the French Corner!

SMH Pyrmont Growers Market - 04/10/2014

Ruby and Rach - the vintage sandwich makers

Being the launch of Good Food Month in Sydney, and the theme being the BBQ, it was no surprise to find a number of stall holders bringing their own barbie and recipes to feed the masses...
There were also a few newcomers as well as most of the regulars and the seasonals like Gilles Bonin with his fresh garlic. So here are a few photos to illustrate the event. Luckily the weather was clement!

World famous Reuben sandwich in the making

Christmas is around the corner and The Pudding Lady is back from Newcastle!

A regular - Stephane and gorgeous crew cooking home made chorizo - also from Newcastle

A new kid on the block: Hunter Valley Cheese

Gilles Bonin Garlic - all the way from Braidwood

It is early and Biota Dining have already ran out of supplies...

Biota Dining and Cloudy Bay at the Everleigh Markets and a few others - 11/10/2014

Well, when I heard that James Viles would bring some his crew to cook a storm at the Everleigh Markets, I had to get up early and get myself there in a hurry! I was not disappointed as I had a chance to taste again his fabulous mandarin sorbet, with a twist this time: peach sorbet and jelly and cryogenic roses and a glass of Sauvignon blanc from Cloudy Bay NZ, way before 10.00am...
You can also read my review of the restaurant in Bowral here:
http://www.ourfrenchimpressions.com/biota-dining.html
The life of a food blogger requires a stainless steel lined stomach and a galvanised liver!
A few people are returning regularly now like Oysters Unplugged and Pasta Emilia that I have not covered before. Music was provided in a better location than before by no other than cello master extraordinaire called Haydn (His mum was a piano teacher...). Again a few photos for your enjoyment!

Cooking a storm - the genie is let out of the (nitrogen - bottle!

The lovely Rachel "plating up" my peach, mandarin and roses ice cream

Come and smell the roses...

Or if you prefer, you could have the lamb sliders...

And do you want some fries with that lamb slider?

Donna does... seasonal chutneys and relishes

Willowbrae Cheese make goat cheese...and this gentleman sell goat meat - a winning combo!

Pasta Emilia make raviolis...

and gnocchis "en famille"

Adam Liaw cooking an Asian storm!

Frank Camorra in deep conversation

We are so lucky here in Sydney! Spring has sprung and we enjoy a perfect 25 degrees today with a light wind, and we are about to be taken on a journey, a food journey that is, for the whole month of October here and then on to Melbourne and Canberra with over 500 events planned around the city and amazing international guests like David Thompson, who introduced Thai food to Australia 20 years ago and is now returning to Sydney, Yotam Ottolenghi the king of Eastern Mediterranean flavours based in London, Alice Waters the US Chef owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley and finallyMassino Bottura from Osteria Francescana, named #3 best restaurant in the World.
The kick off event took place at the monthly SMH Pyrmont Growers Market with Adam Liaw, MasterChef winner in 2010 and television Chef extraordinaire, as well as Movida famous Frank Camorra with restaurants in Melbourne and Sydney. Both were launching new books, and took the time to talk to their fans and sign their books for them with a smile...Votre serviteur was there first row, having booked premium seats to each event. And it was certainly worth the token money asked for attending! Here is my report:

Adam Liaw cooks an Asian Storm

We are so grateful that Adam left a career in law to pursue his passion for Asian cuisine. He is a passionate cook and is extremely knowledgeable of all Asian cuisines, including Korean, the theme for today, as well as Japanese - his wife is Japanese - and Malaysian, Chinese and Singaporean which are his heritage. He is also a natural presenter, injecting his entusiasm and personal style in his TV shows.
He prepared with some extra help Korean Grilled Pork Belly and fried noodles.You can find the recipes in his new book: Adam's Big Pot published by Hachette. Here are some photos of his demonstration:

Frank Camorra cooks recipes from the South of Spain

The good humoured Frank Camorra

The always jovial Frank Camorra relocated with his family to Melbourne when he was five years old. It is not until 2000 that he had a chance to go back to Spain and work in a Michelin stared restaurant and moved back to Melbourne to open MoViDa in 2004, as he was so impressed with the vitality of the food scene in his birth country. He has returned many times since with Richard Cornish the food editor of The Age and Alan Benson as their photographer. Frank was presenting his latest book - Movida Solera - and cooking two recipes from it: pinchitos morunos and ensalada de remolacha. Here we are:

Pinchitos Morunos: Seville Festival Lamb Skewers

Beetroots have been oven cooked, fennel & cumin seeds have been roasted and the lamb is being cut...

Salad of beetroot with fennel and cumin seeds

Lamb has been skewed and cooked, the beetroot salad is being prepared

Beetroot salad is tossed with the garlic, onions and seeds

Gilles Bonin fresh garlic

All plated up - the lamb was good but the beetroot salad was AMAZING!

The VIP plates...taste the same, and we had a chance of seconds with a glass of cider

And the signing of many books...

There were a lot of other BBQ events at the Pyrmont Growers Market...stay tuned for another episode!
