TV CREWS AT THE FOOD MARKET
Suddenly we are in demand for film crews! Last week, it was Jamie Oliver’s film company FreshOne with the Hemsley and Hemsley sisters (of spiralizer fame) and this week it’s Geoff Lawson, the force behind the World Wide Permaculture Network.
The market was set up on permaculture principles, as was the whole Transition movement, so we’re really honoured that he has chosen to film us whilst in London. Thanks to Ainslie Beattie for setting it up.
Back to reality and it’s all about apples at the moment. The plums came and went as did the blackberries, but the apples just keep coming. Last week we had kilos and kilos come into Patchwork Farm stall – both cookers and eating – so if you fancy a home made crumble or apple sauce you know where to come.
If you have apples that you don’t know what to do with , remember you can always bring them in to the stall. We’ve had requests from Domali and The Grape and Grain for any leftovers so nothing will go to waste.
Here’s some apple inspiration as well, from our recipe page. First up we have an Autumnal apple loaf, then some Victorian apple jam to go with it, and then to top it off we’ve got Applesauce cake with salted caramel icing.

Not only will we have the return of our super-seasonal apple and salted caramel cake, but we’re also bringing back oursalted caramel bomboloni, topped with dark chocolate and crumbs of smoky honeycomb. And although autumn may be upon us (so says our wonderfully comforting plum crumble cake, also making its return to the stall), summer isn’t over until we’ve stopped serving our strawberry and white chocolate gateau. Elsewhere on the stall we’ll have triple chocolate cookies, Black Forest cake with super-sweet Kentish cherries and chocolate crumble, double carrot cake, sticky buns, luxurious dark chocolate brownies with pecans and white chocolate chunks, and a batch of our scrumptiousraspberry bakewells. Did you miss our fig, rose and pistachio cheesecake last time? The good news is that About Time Magazine included it in their list of the very best cheesecakes in London. The great news is that we’re bringing another on Saturday! Find out more here. Finally, there’s no need to panic if you miss us at the market – “our online shop is always open“.
Regular stalls this week
Lunch – weekly: Deli items from Comfort & Joy, proper ham sandwiches (or pastrami – and you can add cheese too) from The Charcuterie Board and Jacob’s Ladder burgers are back at last!
Meat by Jacob’s Ladder Farms: Jacob’s Ladder are a collective of tiny organic and biodynamic farms in East Sussex and Kent that farm using traditional methods with rare breed animals, and come together to sell at Crystal Palace Food Market, the only market that Jacob’s Ladder now attend. One taste and you’re hooked! Help to support these tiny farms whilst knowing that animal welfare is always top of their list.
Handmade pasta (gluten free or traditional) from Pastificio Mansi. Potato gnocchi; Artichoke, thyme & Parmesan ravioli; Mascarpone, spinach & nutmeg halmoon, Motadella & Parmesan cappelletti. So good to have them back.
Cured sliced meats from The Charcuterie Board: Owen’s been cooking at home this week “We made a delicious thing at home this week, sweet potato and ‘nduja mash. Bake some sweet potatoes, scoop out the squidgy insides, mix in a wee drop of olive oil and chop in a healthy slab of Moons Green Fiery’ Nduja. Job done. ” The Charcuterie Board supplies British cured meats from Moons Green & Native Breeds.
Cheese from Blackwoods Cheese: Blackwood’s Cheese are an artisan cheesemonger based in Brockley, who use organic milk from Kent, and also have a selection of cheeses from Neal’s Yard.
Bee and butterfly friendly herb & flowering plants from Gipsy Hill Herbs: Sarah says this week it’s all about indoor herbs. “Now is a good time to start an indoor herb garden so you can enjoy your favourite herbs all winter. You will need a south or west facing window to ensure your herbs get enough light. If you don’t have a window sill then putting up a shelf across a window is really simple and looks great [have a look on pinterest] Then all you need to do is pot your herbs into a 5 or 6 inch diameter pot using ordinary multipurpose compost [preferably peat free], stand pot in water until the surface of the compost is wet [that way you know the water has soaked right through] and you’re done! Don’t overwater after that – wait until the surface of the compost is dry and then stand in water as above. Good herbs to try are – oregano/marjoram, chives, mint, thyme, sage, Vietnamese coriander, lemon balm, rosemary. Fresh stocks of all of these on the stall this week. If you’re still not sure about giving it a go come and ask me for advice at the market.” All plants grown with minimal environmental impact on a small independent nursery in Wallington. Follow Sarah on twitter – @GipsyHillHerbs.
