SUMMER'S
BOUNTY

I’m writing this message after a visit to the outdoor farmer’s market at Covent Garden Market. So many fabulous vegetables! They were nearly spilling out of my baskets.
With this gorgeous bounty from local farmers, I’m looking forward to making several of my favourite dishes. I picked up some fresh bread from The Whole Grain Hearth and can’t wait to get home to enjoy a simple toasted tomato sandwich.
Another of my very favourite things to enjoy in summer is Salad Niçoise. A link to my recipe for it is down the page. It’s a magnificent way to make the most of fresh market veggies: the freshly dug potatoes and onions I bought from Andrew at Sungold, the peppers from Ray at Janssens, and the greens from Roger at Our Fields.
I’m so grateful to have the market right across the street from Jill’s Table. My weekly trips there are not just about buying vegetables, flowers and irresistible baked goods… they’re about nurturing relationships with wonderful vendors we’re so fortunate to have the option to buy from. Food is more meaningful and somehow tastes better when you know who produces it.
I hope you enjoy the recipe. It’s a perfect main course salad and I recommend serving it with a nice glass of rosé. Now that’s a great way to celebrate summer.
It is still summer, of course, though it’s admittedly hard to ignore the feeling of change in the air. The changing light. The cooler nights. But fear not; there is still over a month of summer to savour. The end of August is a time of excitement and anticipation, with much to look forward to at the market and at Jill’s Table.
This email launches our fall cooking classes. We are thrilled to have our great team of contributing chefs return with informative and fascinating classes. Just a few of the topics this season are spices, sauces, cheese-making, honey, Irish cooking, Latin cooking and hands-on pasta making. And as always, much more.
You can explore all of the fall classes and register starting now at JillsClasses.ca. If you have a gift card you’d like to use for a class, call us at 519-645-1335 and we’ll be happy to register you over the phone.
