Gorgeous produce from today’s farmers market in Santa Monica. . . On this very Wednesday, exactly 5 years ago I visited the Wednesday Santa Monica farmers market for the first time ever. And only 3 days before that I moved to Los Angeles from England. So yes, I had known about this market, even before I arrived to the States. I was so looking forward to it and today, 5 years later I still feel the same. Thank you for all the farmers for your knowledge and hard work to bring us all this amazing produce. This is a chef driven market so the variety of produce is simply mind blowing. This is the reason I started my frequent market stories, to show, educate and spread the word. It is the best feeling when I take someone to the market, show them something they never tried before or they try a fruit or veggie that never tasted that good before. Without a whole list thank you some of my favorite farmers! @windrosefarm @coastalfarmssp @farmeromeo @weiserfamilyfarms @the_garden_of_ @seecanyonfruitranch @kongthao03 @rinconcherimoyas @finleyfarms @flora_bella_farm @7_hotdates. . . . #f52farmstand #food52 #feedfeed #farmersmarket #inseasonnow #thekitchn #saveurmag #eatwell #eatlocal #knowyourfarmers #lifeandthyme #lafoodie #lachef #veganfoodshare #farmfresh #wednesdaymarketday

💫Barhi dates from @7_hotdates @smfms💫 . I have never been in love with dates. Until now. There are a few precious weeks here in Los Angeles when you can buy fresh dates and let them ripen to a stage you like. I saved a video in my highlights so you can see the difference between stages. When these dates reach rutab stage, they turn literally into soft, creamy, golden caramel. And I am not exaggerating, they do taste like the best caramel you can make with the added bonus of being so very good for you. I got some of the hard dates at the market, and today, for the first time, they will find their way into a caponata 🤷‍♀️. The rest of it will be patiently ripening to the perfection that you can never buy in stores. 💫@datesandavocados I really wish you were here to experience this date magic,would heal your soul!!! 😘 . . . . #f52farmstand #food52 #feedfeed #bestofvegan #inseasonnow #dates #sweettooth #thekitchn #saveurmag #eatwell #eatlocal #knowyourfarmers #rawvegan #rawdessert #lifeandthyme #lafoodie #lachef #veganfoodshare #farmfresh

If you want to taste this and my caponata, come and join my cooking demo on September 23, at 1pm at Williams Sonoma Santa Monica! . . #cookingdemo #lafoodie #mywilliamssonoma #52grams #food52 #bestofvegan #feedfeed #eattherainbow #bonappetitmag #foodandwine #saveurmag #buzzfeast #lachef #Chefbernadett #vscofood #yahoofood #eeeeeats #spoonfeed #beautifulcuisines #tastespotting

Home made farmers cheese, marinated heirloom tomato salad, purslane, pickled green tomato powder. . . Luckily here in Southern California we still have ample time to enjoy these gorgeous tomatoes and I grab every opportunity. As for dehydrating pickled veggies.. well, it is not my original genius idea... Many chefs turned to dehydrating pickled or fermented veggies with great success. This way you can scatter that yummy flavor all over your dish😋👍. If you have a dehydrator, give it a go! Totally worth it! . . . #thisissummer #feedfeed #cookniche #heirloomtomatoes #chefslife #lifeandthyme #food52 #f52grams #forkyeah #eeeeeats #dinela #lacef #chefbernadett #vscofood #foodstyling #foodphotography #thekitchn #infatuationla #thekitchn #bonappetitmag #saveurmag #foodandwine

☀️ summer dream ☀️ Crispy smoky okra, curried squash pickle and @chefjeremyfox’s corn pudding. Okra flower petals, alyssum and purslane to give more brightness and color to the plate. 🌱🌸🌱 . . I am so proud of this plate of food, lots of work came into such a perfect harmony. Also the okra flower is so gorgeous and I had to realize how elusive too. It stays open only for a few hours. Check them out and the other components from a close up, in my story! 😘 . . . #thisissummer #artofplating #culinaryart #gastroart #theartofplating #cookniche #chefsofinstagram #chefslife #inseasonnow #professionalchefs #chefbernadett #veganfoodshare #feedfeed #foodstyling #dinela #lachef #jamesbeardfoundation
