Our big idea? Supporting locally! | March 17, 2014 |
Fresh & LocalCome out to celebrate and support this year’s most promising New Orleans Startups, including market vendor, Locally Preserved at New Orleans Entrepreneur Week’s big finale, The Big Idea! As many of you already know, Locally Preserved, formerly known as Feed Me Eat Pretty, is a New Orleans-based food startup that produces all-natural cocktail mixers, simple and fruit syrups, and ‘sweetless’ jams and jellies with five ingredients or less by preserving seasonal, local produce. We love having Emily at market and are thrilled to support her in the world’s largest crowd driven pitch event! The Big Idea’s festival event takes place Friday, March 28 in Fulton Square. Give Emily your support while celebrating the great entrepreneurial spirit in our city! |

Recipe of the WeekThe CCFM seafood fest continues! Those folks participating in Pete and Clara’s seafood CSF shares were pleased to get black drum filets in their share last week. This Sauteed Drum with Spinach, Oysters, Shiitakes, and Tasso recipe is a great way to use those drum filets while enjoying other delicious Louisiana foods. Pick up a pint of shiitakes from Mississippi Natural Products and some nutritious drum filets, a great source of Vitamin B, from one of our fishers this week. |
