It’s been a delicious summer so far. Tomorrow, I’m making my first peach pie of the season, and despite the drought we’ve been experiencing in Southern Ontario, the corn has been fantastic. I’ve been cooking; cream corn, corn spoon bread, corn fritters, and corn on the cob. Also, I spent a beautiful Sunday morning at the Stratford Slow Food market, real food produced and sold by people who believe in what they’re doing. A new bakery has opened in Stratford, The Bakery at Pazzo, I bought lemon tart, brownies and their feature bread, whole wheat with fennel and fig. So much good food, we devoured the bread and sweets at dinner last night. If you’re in Stratford, definitely check it out. The Slow Food market is on Sundays in the town square, bring a cooler so that you can buy Monforte dairy cheese and there’s a vendor who sells sustainable eco-friendly fish, and definitely drop by the Soiled Reputation stall for terrific vegetables and greens, owned and farmed by Tina and Antony Johns, the hippest, most intelligent farmers you will ever meet.
