With colder weather ahead, adding some new ideas to your cosy winter menu ensures your soups, stews and roasts are better than ever. Fortunately, the Carriageworks Winter Seasonal Market is here to help from 8am–1pm on Saturday, June 14, featuring top-notch farmers from across NSW alongside a free live program exploring seasonality and sustainability. Spread across 60 stallholders, visitors have an array of delicious wares to look forward to, from fresh produce and artisan baked goods to handmade preserves and sustainable meats. With so many in one place, you won't get a better chance to stock up on citrus flavours, leafy greens and seasonal blooms shaped with the help of local farmers and producers that do what they do best. Also taking place is a free live program featuring fascinating talks and cooking demonstrations that elevate eco-conscious choices and everyday food skills. For instance, Louise Tran from OzHarvest — Australia's leading food rescue organisation — will share practical tips and tricks for fighting food waste in the kitchen. Plus, former Cornersmith owner and current Clove Head Chef Alex Elliot-Howery will cook up the best seasonal winter produce before your eyes. With the Carriageworks Farmers Market allowing visitors to chat with the growers themselves, learning more about where your food comes from and how best to prepare it is made easy.
