As the weather begins to cool down, Uptown Farmer’s Market is heating up with our new weekly Chef demonstrations called the Neighborhood Chef Series. Each week we will be featuring a local Chef from the neighborhood to whip up something fresh, beautiful, seasonal and using local products from the market. This is a great way for our guests to have the opportunity to purchase those ingredients and prepare an amazing dish just like the Chef!
Have you been to Gertrude’s at the Desert Botanical Gardens? Sure the plants are spectacular, but equally matched is the quality of Executive Chef Matt Taylor’s cuisine. Gertrude’s is worth a visit even if you’re not going to the garden. One of the Valley’s most revered chefs, he slugged it out in the heat at this weekend’s market sharing several deliciously refreshing dishes.
Chef Justin Beckett of Beckett’s Table and Southern Rail is owed a bit of extra credit in our ongoing Summer Chef Series at the market. He was the one to offer up the idea of hosting local chefs at the market to demo farm fresh ingredients. His creative idea has now become the tastiest ticket in town on Saturday mornings at North Phoenix Baptist Church, this weekend being no exception.
Our vendors don’t just sell great products, they can cook, too! Chef David Antonelli of Holy Mackerel Fresh Seafood jumped into the demo booth this weekend with a helpful C-CAP student from Camelback High School. Their mission was to feature fresh, local ingredients from the market in a dish that marketeers could make at home.
Our Summer Chef Series has been an incredibly rewarding experience for us here at the market. For eight weeks we have witnessed, first-hand, the strength of our local community and the uniting force of food.
It was a warm one this weekend, but that didn’t keep our marketeers away. We credit our exceptional vendors along with the convenient parking and location provided by North Phoenix Baptist Church.
Crowds gathered inside our market facilities at North Phoenix Baptist Church for our fifth installment of the Summer Chef Series. Chef Ben Graham of Citizen Public House charmed the audience and demonstrated how market ingredients can be used to make beautifully composed, easy-to-make dishes for the dinner table.
