We have a lot of markets in Cape Town.  This is an awesome thing – it means people are embracing a new, more connected way of buying food.  We’re looking for something a bit more meaningful than supermarket-trawling, where we can get a little closer to the source, and perhaps even meet the earth-loving people responsible for rearing/growing/producing the ingredients for our next meal.

One of my favourite new markets is the Starlings Urban Farmers Market in Claremont.  It’s small, it’s simple, it’s unpretentious.  It’s all about the produce – about being able to pop by regularly, and buy just about everything you need to cook up an awesome home-cooked meal:  uber-fresh fish from Ocean Jewels, free range chicken and eggs from Simply Wholesome, the undeniably awesome charcuterie from Richard Bosman, organic dairy from Afrikara, to name a few examples.

It’s all about creating relationships with the people who sell their wares there – having a chat about ways to cook the fish you’ve just bought (Julie of Ocean Jewels has some great recipes up her sleeve), or a debate about how best to grow vegetables.

I love it – and am trying to get there as often as possible.  I go in with an empty basket, and come out with it filled to capacity with good, healthy, wholesome and delicious produce.  And, when I’m not sure I’ll get there early enough, I order ahead, through Food Shed, just so that I know for certain that the goodies I want will be set aside, waiting for me when I arrive.

If you’re crazy about quality ingredients, stop by some time, and have a look.  The market is held every Wednesday from 4pm to 6pm at Starlings Cafe, 94 Belvedere Road, Claremont.

As most of you will know, Fairtrade is a system designed to protect small farmers and farm workers by ensuring “better working and living conditions … through fairer prices, better labour conditions, community development and sustainability of the environment”.  It’s a win-win situation.  Fairtrade certification benefits us all:  the people who make the products live better lives, the land used to cultivate/create it is looked after more sustainably and the ‘consumers’ who choose to support it enjoy a quality product and a clearer conscience.

I was invited to the media launch and although I did find Kraft’s message a little saccharine and self-serving at times (“multiplying joy by going Fairtrade”), I do think that what they’re doing is absolutely fantastic.

To achieve Fairtrade certification, Kraft Foods South Africa partnered with cocoa farmers in West Africa (60 percent of the world’s cocoa is grown in Ghana and the Ivory Coast). The certification will see thousands of West African farmers receive internationally-agreed Fairtrade prices for their product (the Fairtrade minimum price or world market price, whichever is higher) and the Fairtrade Premium of US$200 per tonne for investment in the development of their businesses and communities.

Which is awesome, right?   Of course, as fellow ingredient-label-readers will know, the main ingredient of a Cadbury Dairy Milk plain chocolate bar is actually sugar (first on the list), not cocoa.  So, what about the other ingredients in the chocolate bar?

I put the question to Arianna Baldo, Marketing Coordinator of Fairtrade SA, and this is what she said:

As you say, Fairtrade certification for products like coffee, or wine and tea is very straightforward: 100% of the product is Fairtrade (e.g. if you blend Fairtrade and non-Fairtrade coffee, then you cannot label the package as Fairtrade).  There are products, however, which are made of many ingredients, some of which are not certifiable. What we call ‘Food Composite Products‘ (FCP) in Fairtrade jargon are those products such as chocolate, muesli, snack bars, biscuits, etc.

For such products the rule is that (1) all that can be Fairtrade must be Fairtrade and (2) Fairtrade ingredients must make up for >50% of the product.

E.g. Plain chocolate (like Cadbury) will use Fairtrade cocoa + Fairtrade sugar. All other ingredients (e.g. milk powder, vegetable fats, etc) are not certifiable, therefore they can be conventional products. In the case Cadbury wants to have their hazelnut chocolate certified, then that chocolate will have to contain Fairtrade cocoa + Fairtrade sugar + Fairtrade hazelnuts (because hazelnuts are available in the Fairtrade market)

At the moment Kraft Foods and Fairtrade are working with local small-scale sugar cane farmers to get them Fairtrade certified so that the Fairtrade Cadbury Dairy Milk can be totally African and Fairtrade.

This is really great news. Kraft Foods is huge, and if they’re supporting Fairtrade, then others will certainly follow – and the world could most definitely do with more Fairtrade, not less.

The new Fairtrade-stamped Cadbury Dairy Milk plain bars will start appearing on shelves towards the end of the year.  And, you’ll be happy to know, they won’t cost any extra – the price will stay exactly the same.

The popular annual food extravaganza takes place this weekend at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, kicking off at 10am on Thursday (26-29 May 2011).

Some of the highlights, as I see them:

Farm to Fork Wellbeing Theatre

“Come and find out more about Green trends from around the world, including the importance of sustainable farming practices and knowing where our food originates from. This one will not only challenge every chef and foodie devotee’s cooking methods, but will also provide inspiring ideas on how to serve seasonal, local fare that is not only wholesome, but also elegant.”

Seems seasonal eating is the new black…  There are demos and talks on a variety of related topics – everything from superfoods to gluten-free recipes to gardening advice.

Slow Market

The popular Slowmarket group at Stellenbosch & Willowbridge is the leading authentic slowfood market in the Cape. Products have been grown, raised, harvested, caught, preserved or transformed by the producers themselves. You will find high-quality specialty producers, food artisans, local and regional farmers, natural and organic merchants, seasonal goods, responsible and sustainable enterprises and fine-food purveyors. Nominated in the best outlet category at the Eat In Produce Awards and winning numerous awards by the judges of the Good Food & Wine Show in the past 2 years, the Slowmarket group promises to provide you with a selection of the best they can offer.

It’s always lovely to see plenty of fresh produce, and these guys do do a great job of presenting themselves.

And of course, stalls and more stalls to explore – as always, I’ll be looking for small producers and artisans, and anyone taking steps towards making their products and services more eco-friendly.

But right now I have 6 double tickets to give away!  Tickets usually cost R85, but if you’re hoping to save some of that to spend on delicious food instead, why not try your luck here…  All you have to do to enter is fill in the form below (and answer an easy question correctly).  First 6 correct entries drawn, win.  The competition closes tomorrow at 5pm, with the draw taking place immediately thereafter, so get your entries in soon!  Good luck, and see you there!

SORRY - THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED!

So what’s an ‘heirloom’ plant, and what’s so special about it?

An heirloom plant, heirloom variety, or (especially in the UK) heirloom vegetable is a cultivar that was commonly grown during earlier periods in human history, but which is not used in modern large-scale agriculture. Many heirloom vegetables have kept their traits through open pollination, while fruit varieties such as apples have been propagated over the centuries through grafts and cuttings. (via WikiPedia)

Unlike most commercially available seed, heirloom seeds come from plants that have been carefully chosen for more interesting characteristics than how long they’ll stay fresh, or how well they handle packing, storing and transport.  Most heirloom seeds are selected for flavour, or quirky shapes and colours, or some peculiarity specific to a region.

So, whilst I understand the need for docile, dependable seeds that are bred for their performance and reliability, I definitely prefer something a little bit quirkier (in looks and in flavour).

Problem is, though, one doesn’t generally find heirloom seeds or seedlings at nurseries…probably because the seed isn’t quite as easily available, or as popular (yet).    So when one of my fellow Food Collective/Harvest Share creators came up with the idea of a Winter Heirloom Seedling Share, I was ecstatic and very happy to be on board.

Winter Heirloom Seedling Share in a nutshell:

Sourcing heirloom seed varieties from three major local seed suppliers, we have asked the green-thumbed folk at Soil For Life to grow 11 different types of heirloom winter seeds into seedlings for us.

With each share you buy, you will receive FOUR 6-pack seedling trays containing the following heirloom vegetables:

1. Heirloom Lettuce 6-pack (EITHER Forellenschluss Lettuce, Cinnamon Cos OR Butter Blush)
2. Heirloom Pea 6-pack (EITHER Weggis Peas, Capuchin Peas OR Purple Podded Blauschokkers)
3. Heirloom Broccoli OR Cauliflower 6-pack (EITHER Romanesco Broccoli, Calabrese Broccoli OR Sicilian Violet Cauliflower)
4. Heirloom Cabbage OR Kale 6-pack (EITHER Perfection Drumhead Savoy Cabbage OR Nero di Toscana Kale)

Each 6-pack tray contains 6 organic seedlings of one variety (these are not mixed seedling trays). 24 seedlings in total.  Shares cost R110 each, which works out to R27.50 per tray.  Part of this cost goes back to Soil For Life, an NGO based in Constantia which is doing incredible work in townships and other communities, teaching people how to grow their own food.

Our little seedlings are growing right now – and should be ready by the end of May/early June.  Numbers are limited, but there are still some shares available, so if you’d like to try your hand at planting some heirloom seedlings this winter, visit the Harvest Share page, get the full details and sign up!

Sandford Farm, Kleinmond

The Cheese Festival is almost upon us (starts on Friday) – and I’m getting rather excited by the return of small producers to the event. This year, perhaps in celebration of the festival’s 10th year, Agri-Expo is bringing the 10 small producers below to the event (by this, I assume they mean they are sponsoring their entry, as they’ve done in the past).

Having had a brief look at the overall layout of the festival, these are not the only small producers who’ll be there – so it looks promising for an all-day artisan cheese hunt… Below, I’ve included whatever information I could glean on these producers, as well as relevant contact details, for anyone interested in finding out more.

Anysbos Cheese (Botrivier, WESTERN CAPE)

w: www.petitechevre.co.za | e: goatsmilk@petitechevre.co.za

Produce a variety of goatsmilk products including plain goats milk, chevre, yoghurt, halloumi and a series of cheeses they call ‘bietjies’ – Bietjie Brand (chilli), Bietjie Lekker (Rosemary & peppercorsn), Bietjie Pong (garlic!). Looks like they’re not currently available in the Cape, so this is a good opportunity to get a taste.

Event details:
The 2011 SA Cheese Festival runs from Friday 29 April to Monday 2 May 2011. Tickets are the same price as last year: R110 for Saturday and Sunday and R90 for Friday and Monday. Senior citizens pay R70 and children 12 years and younger enter free.  The festival runs from 10:00 to 18:00 each day and 17:00 on the last day.  A limited number of tickets are available at Computicket and Checkers stores (no tickets at the gates).

Saszali Chocolates are a revelation.  What draws you in first is the beautiful display – enticing wooden boxes filled to the brim with colourfully wrapped balls of handmade chocolate.

What will keep you coming back, again, and again and (yay!) again, is the sensational flavours that each of those chocolates contains.

Creator Anya Lourens makes every single one individually by hand, using Lindt as the base, with a range of 15 exciting taste combinations from which to choose (all natural flavours).

There’s the chilli bite of the ‘Hot Pod’, the orange flourish of the ‘Citrus Blossom’, the sweet strawberry finish of the ‘Balsamic Chic’ and soothing ‘CinnaFusion, to name but a few.

I haven’t tried them all (yet), but those that I did sample were simply splendiferous, and I will definitely be back for more.  At R50 for a box of 4, these are not snacks, but treats to be savoured, slowly.  And with their top-notch presentation, I have a feeling these will be in high demand for special occasions for some time to come.

According to Anya, the City Bowl Market on Hope was her very first market, but I’m sure she’ll be spotted at many more to come!   If you can’t get to the market, though, you can also order Saszali Chocolates online.  The chocolates can be purchased either individually, or in boxes or gift bags of varying quantities.  A box of 4 costs R50, a box of 9 costs R100 (view full pricelist).

A new market is coming to the City Bowl, and I have a very strong feeling it’s going to give the ol’ Neighbour Goods Market some stiff competition.

Curious as I always am about new markets, I arranged to meet up with market organiser Madelen Johansson last week, to see the new venue, and to have a chat about what’s in store for us market-mad Capetonians.

The new market is located in a beautiful old building on Hope Street.  It has an impressive facade, and a wonderful well-lit interior with huge windows streaming in light.  There’s a main hall with lofty ceilings, and a sort of mezzanine level, where they plan to show black and white movies and place a few tables at which marketgoers can eat and drink.

Upstairs, overlooking the main market area,  there’s an area for chilling and having a few drinks.  Outside, to one side, there’s a secure grassy section just for kids, and on the opposite end of the building a lovely area, complete with small pool (not for swimming) which they plan to use for braaiing and hanging out away from the general market hubbub.

It has a lovely feel to it, and I could immediately picture it filled with the sounds and smells of a big market… Madelen has spent a lot of time exploring existing markets (sounds like fun to me!) and selecting only the best traders for this new market.  Previously from the catering industry, she seems to know quite a bit about good food, and an instinct for what makes a market great.

My feeling is that whilst the Neighbour Goods Market is by far the most popular and populated market around, there are many of us who no longer go there regularly because it’s such a bunfight.  The food is extraordinary, yes, and the products exemplary, but having to elbow one’s way in to get any of them isn’t really my idea of a good time, and not being able to chat to producers about their wares just doesn’t make sense.

So, I’m very very excited about this new market which will, I hope, create a new arena for exceptional producers to showcase their talents, and the space for us to explore them.

The City Bowl Market on Hope (14 Hope Street, Gardens) launches on Saturday the 16th of March April 2011 – and will be on every Saturday morning thereafter (9am-2pm).  I can’t wait!

Their website isn’t working just yet, but you can follow the latest market news on their Facebook Page, or via Twitter.  Madelen Johansson can be contacted via email on citybowlmarket@gmail.com.

But recycling isn’t a magic panacea for dealing with waste – and it’s not enough: if we don’t stop manufacturing and using so many new bottles and other plastics, we’re going to run out of space to stash it all.

Think on this… It takes about 450 years for a single bottle to decompose.  Given that around 141 billion (yes, that’s billion with a ‘b’) bottles and cans are not recycled every year and end up in landfills, that’s a whole helluva lot of plastic hanging around to haunt us for a whole helluva long time.  Recycling does help, sure, but it still requires large amounts of energy and resources to turn those materials back into usable form.

A much better plan is to start reducing how much you buy and use, reusing what you already have, and recycling whatever you can no longer make functional use of.  Makes sense, right?

So how to get around buying new plastic bottles when you’re hooked on the flavoursome bubbly beverages contained within?

Well, you could give them up and resort to drinking plain tap water (nothing wrong with that), or you could make your own bubbles and mix-and-match flavours with a home beverage carbonation system.

Last week SodaStream launched a compelling new campaign: “Help Free the World from Bottles” – and I think they’re on to a really good thing.

“The SodaStream system enables consumers to easily transform ordinary tap water into carbonated drinks in seconds. SodaStream’s products are environmentally-friendly, cost-effective, promote health and wellness, are customisable and fun to use.  In addition, they eliminate the need to carry bottles from the supermarket, to store bottles or to regularly dispose of empty bottles.

SodaStream’s vision is to create a world free from bottles. SodaStream is committed to continuously improving as an earth-friendly brand and having a positive impact on the environment. Using water straight from the tap to create carbonated flavoured beverages, SodaStream makes traditional store-bought beverage bottles obsolete. This results in less plastic manufactured, less plastic waste and less transportation of bottled beverages.”

Every SodaStream bottle can be used for up to three years, and is estimated to save the environment from 2,000 bottles and cans during that time. Plus, the CO2 carbonator can make up to 60 litres (or 180 cans) of beverage before having to be refilled and reused.  That all sounds like rather a good plan to me…

Additionally, in acknowledgement of the importance of water, SodaStream have announced their participation in the One to One Project, in collaboration with The Water Project Inc:

“This ground-breaking initiative aims to make a difference in the lives of thousands of people, by building water wells to supply clean, safe drinking water in developing communities in Africa.

The One to One project is a global SodaStream effort whereby $1 (R6.92) for each home soda maker sold will be donated towards building of water wells in Kenya.  The donation from each soda maker sold will help supply one person in Kenya with clean drinking water for at least one year.”

I am really very impressed, and I have a feeling this initiative, which has the rare distinction of making both eco-friendly and economic sense, might just change the way people go about consuming bubbly beverages.  If you haven’t already given up drinking bottled water and other packaged beverages, now’s a really good time to get started.

I’ve always liked Simply Asia, since I first savoured their succulent seafood and other dishes way back in 2007.  Their food is fresh and tasty, with vegetables that crunch satisfyingly instead of squishing, and sauces that don’t burn with MSG.  And, they have great vegetarian and seafood options for those of us trying to avoid eating meat from animals that are not free range.

Well, this month Simply Asia is launching ten new dishes to complement its existing menu, and last week I was invited to come and try them all out (yes, all ten – I made sure I arrived hungry!).

I couldn’t make it to their Heritage Square tasting, so instead went to the one at their Plumstead branch, to which I’ve never been before.  The branch owner, Massimo, a lovely guy who is wild about Thai food and very proud of his restaurant,  sat and chatted with us as we worked our way through the various dishes.

The star ingredient of their new menu items is duck, offered for the first time at Simply Asia.  Duck featured in five of the ten dishes, starting with delicious duck spring rolls and ending with duck slathered in sweet soya sauce.  I loved all the duck dishes, but the ones that stood out, for me, were the Ped Phad Phrik Khing – red curry duck stir fry – and the Khao Na Ped – roasted duck slices in tasty soya sauce.

Another winner was the Geang Butternut, a combination of chicken, butternut and onion in a yellow curry sauce (the butternut is unusual for Asian cuisine – but works really well in this dish).

Close to popping, I then had to find room for tasters of their two new desserts as well: the Thai Angels - ‘crispy pastry triangles filled with rich melted chocolate and finely chopped cashew nuts and served with ice cream’, and the Thai Chocolate Brownie – ‘a decadent dark chocolate brownie filled with nuts and topped with sweet pear slices, served with ice cream’.

Wow, what a feast.  Some dishes worked better for me than others (wasn’t too crazy about their new curry linefish dish), but on the whole I think they’ve added some excellent new flavours to their range.

Of course, it would be even better if the duck was free range and locally sourced (they fly it in from Thailand), but as I understand it, there currently aren’t enough ducks available in South Africa to supply the demand and in any case the cost factor will always come into play where free range is concerned.

The fact is, until we, as customers, are willing to pay what free range meat costs without bleating, we are not going to find it widely available in restaurants and take-away outlets where affordability is a key factor.  I loved the duck, and I would definitely have it again – but I would try to keep it as a special treat, opting instead for the vegetarian and sustainable seafood options most of the time (no hardship there – their seafood dishes rock!).

It was a wonderful treat to try all of those new dishes, and I’m looking forward to coming back for more.

Simply Asia has several branches in the Western Cape, including Heritage Square (flagship restaurant), Cavendish Square, Lakeside, the Waterfront, Plumstead and many more. The new dishes will be available soon at all Simply Asia branches.

Some awesome, awesome news for town-based foodies:  a new open-air fresh food market will be launching in the city next week.  Jacqui Simpson, owner and creator of the Earth Fair Market in Tokai (one of my favourite Cape Town markets) is behind this new street market, and given her success with the Tokai market, I have a very good feeling this one will do very well indeed.

Here’s the official release:

“The Earth Fair Food Market @ St Georges opens on 17 February on Upper St Georges’ Mall. It will offer visitors and city centre dwellers a smorgasbord of fresh, organic food. The choice spans smoked fish, specialty sausages, homemade pies, farm cheeses, fruit and vegetables, biltong, pâtés, organic nuts and grains, breads and a host of other products from small producers and artisans.

City centre office workers will be able to snack on sushi, kebabs or pasta at lunch time, or meet a friend for a quick bite after work.

“Many cities have iconic, fresh-food markets – Borough Market in London, the Dublin Food Coop Organic Food Market and the Marché de Pont de l’Alma in Paris – now it’s Cape Town’s turn,” says Jacqui Simpson, owner of the Earth Fair Market.

“In many ways it’s a return to our roots. The Company Gardens originally provided fresh fruit and vegetables to passing ships and Greenmarket Square was somewhere where farmers could sell their produce. That’s why upper St George’s Mall in the historic heart of Cape Town is the ideal location.”

The St Georges’ Mall Market is based on the successful Saturday Earth Fair Market in Tokai, which has become so popular that is now also open on a Wednesday afternoon. The Earth Fair concept is one of a country market, where visitors can shop for fresh goods from local producers, building relationships with them in the process.

The Earth Fair Market will offer fresh produce and food that contains no preservatives or hormones and is not overly packaged. It provides an outlet for small, local producers and artisans as well as city centre community upliftment programmes.”

Can’t. Wait.

The Earth Fair Food Market @ St George’s will be open every Thursday from 12.30 until 18.30, starting Thursday 17^th February 2011.

Spring has sprung, and with it comes the re-opening of food and craft markets for the summer season ahead.  Last weekend saw the first Hathersage Market of the new season (and what a fab market it is – more on that soon), and this weekend the Wellness Natural and Organic Market has its turn.

“Join in the community spirit at this open air market with an abundance of traders selling fresh produce, home made, hand crafted delicious and healthy, natural or organic food. Expect freshly picked fruit and veggies. Every Saturday 9am to 2pm. Jan Van Riebeeck Primary School, Kloof Street, Gardens (next to Wellness Warehouse)”

I didn’t manage to get to this market last year, but I heard some great things about it, and the photos look awesome, so I’m looking forward to checking it out very soon.

Event details:
For the 2010/2011 summer season, the Wellness Natural and Organic Market will be on every Saturday morning, from 9am to 2pm at Jan Van Riebeeck Primary School, Kloof Street, Gardens.
