CRESCENT CITY FARMERS MARKET | MARKET MORSELS http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org Baby, it's cold outside | Week of December 16, 2013 ******************************************************************************** FRESH & LOCAL Another week, another fantastic cookbook signing! This Tuesday our longtime friend Jerald Horst will be out with the grand finale of his Seafood Bible book series, The Seafood Bible: Fish Volume 2. Jerald is a retired fisheries specialist who knows all there is to know about seafood in Louisiana and beyond. Each of his informational guidebooks is chock full of how-to's, recipes, and photos. Come and look at all his wonderful books Tuesday and find the Seafood Bible that is perfect for you and yours! ******************************************************************************** PICK OF THE WEEK: Carrots! Baby, it's cold outside...which is perfect for growing beautiful, sweet carrots. These orange (and yellow and red and purple!) root veggies are great in stews, roasted with a chicken, sliced in a salad, or made into a healthy slaw. Carrots are nutritional powerhouses with beta-carotene, vitamin A, fiber, potassium, and so much more. Market is full of different varieties and colors! ******************************************************************************** TUESDAY'S GREEN PLATE SPECIAL Market is closed both December 24 and 31, so this is the last Tuesday for Casa Borrega. We have been continually excited by their traditional-with-a-twist Mexican dishes and warm service (the hot chocolate on these cold market days has been a lifesaver!). Didn't get a chance to grab lunch market? Stop by their new restaurant on O.C. Haley for a meal to remember. https://www.facebook.com/casaborrega ******************************************************************************** RECIPE OF THE WEEK Why not use the great root vegetables at market right now to try out this Duck and Root Vegetable Stew? Check with Justin Pitt's at Saturday market for a locally raised duck, and pick up some colorful root vegetables from any of our produce vendors for this hearty, warming stew. http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=recipe-of-the-week ******************************************************************************** UPTOWN 200 Broadway Street near the River Tuesday December 17 | 9 am - 1 pm MID-CITY 3700 Orleans Avenue near the Bayou Thursday December 19 | 3 pm - 7 pm DOWNTOWN 700 Magazine Street at Girod Street Saturday December 21 | 8 am - noon ******************************************************************************** MARKETEERS http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=marketeers-club PURCHASE OPTIONS AT THE MARKET http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=purchase-options MARKETUMBRELLA.ORG http://www.marketumbrella.org/ DONATE http://www.marketumbrella.org/market/support_us.html ******************************************************************************** LIKE US ON FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/pages/Crescent-City-Farmers-Market/12780011170 FOLLOW US ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/ccfmtweets TAKE A LOOK ON INSTAGRAM http://instagram.com/crescentcityfarmersmkt
