Crescent City Farmers Market 5.25.10

Thursday, May 27, 2010

I attended the Crescent City Farmers Market on Tuesday 5.25.10. Here are a few of my finds..

Green beans


Bayrisches Bauernbrot (Bavarian Farmer's Bread) made by Captain Karl Mueller of Mueller's Real Bread in Poplarville, MS.


Fresh, handmade pasta made by Daniel Esses of Esses Foods in New Orleans, LA
914.434.1972 or chefesses@gmail.com


Paul's cilantro chipolte pesto made by Paul Arcenaux of Paul's Palate in Metairie, LA
504-834-1757 or paul@webdsi.com

We always start our market shopping with Amanda's Frozen Fruit Bars made by Amanda Carvajal of Jefferson, LA 504-231-6921 or luisamanda@cox.net. Amanda makes the most incredible popsicles. I hear she makes equally incredible juices but I have yet to make it to the market before she sells out. She makes an avocado cream popsicle that is definitely one of the best things that I have ever eaten (a pretty bold statement :) This week she had sold out of the avocado cream, I had a strawberry popsicle and Sadie had a pineapple popsicle.
I purchased a number of other items as well, whole milk from Smith's Creamery, basil gnocchi and puttanesca sauce from Daniel Esses, a large basket of the first peaches of the season, black drum filets, gold zuchinni, creole tomatoes and goat cheese cheddar curds from Bill Ryals of Ryals Goat Dairy in Tylertown, MS.

I have already dove into these ingredients and can't wait to share my creations with you. I also plan on attending the Thursday evening Crescent City Farmers Market tomorrow, for the first time.
