Italian Market

Italian Market

Whenever I go abroad, the first thing that I want to visit is a local market. Markets say so much about a place! Locals chatting and discussing with farmers, colours and the smell of food, fresh products hanging from the shelfs... everything about a market is absolutely amazing.

When I heard that Nikole is coming to teach about food styling and photography in Italy and that we would visit a local market on our first day... let's put it together... Italy, market, Nikole teaching, I don't need more to convince me to join in.

Sempre que vou para fora, a primeira coisa que quero visitar é um mercado local. Os mercados dizem muito sobre um lugar. Os locais a conversar e a discutir com os agricultores, as cores e o cheiro a comida, produtos frescos pendurados nas prateleiras... tudo sobre o mercado é absolutamente incrível.

Quando ouvi que a Nikole vinha ensinar fotografia e styling de comida em Itália e que iríamos visitar um mercado local no nosso primeiro dia... juntando as peças... Itália, mercado, Nikole a ensinar, não preciso de mais para me convencer a ir.

In small Italian villages it's usual that the market goes from one place to the other during the week and we were lucky that, on Thursday, was the market day in Roseto.

It was quite small but full of great things... cheese, sausages, fish, vegetables, fruits... my eyes were wide open, my nose was trying to absorb all of the fragrances, I was in paradise!!

Nas vilas pequenas italianas, é normal o mercado ir de um lugar para o outro durante a semana e nós tivemos sorte de, na quinta-feira, ser o dia de mercado em Roseto.

Era pequeno, mas cheia de coisas óptimas... queijo, salsichas, peixe, legumes, frutas ... os meus olhos estavam bem abertos, meu nariz estava a tentar absorver todos os aromas, eu estava no paraíso!

Our local guide was great explaining all of the local specialities that we could find around and, when he got tired, he just invited us for a glass of wine.
Drinking wine and eating cheese at 10 o'clock in the morning... not bad at all! {*smile}

O nosso guia local foi fantástico a explicar todas as especialidades locais que poderíamos encontrar por alí e, quando se cansou, convidou-nos para um copo de vinho.
Beber vinho e comer queijo às 10 horas da manhã... não é nada mau! {*smile}

Market


Saturday is our market day. It's kind of a ritual... we have a nice Saturday breakfast and then get ready to go to Principe Real's organic market. I never go there with a shopping list. I usually have a walk, see the offer and then buy what I like. This Saturday was no exception. We bought really fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs and flowers.

Shiitake Mushrooms I already used for our Sunday lunch, and they were great. Swiss chard is for today {*smile}.

Do you use to go to market?

Sábado é o nosso dia de mercado. É uma espécie de ritual... tomamos um pequeno-almoço de sábado agradável e, em seguida, preparamo-nos para ir ao mercado biológico do Príncipe Real. Nunca levo uma lista de compras. Costumo dar uma volta, ver a oferta e depois comprar o que gosto. Este sábado não foi excepção. Compramos verduras realmente frescas, frutas, ovos e flores.

Já utilizei os cogumelos Shiitake para o nosso almoço de domingo, e estavam óptimos. A acelga é para hoje {*smile}.

Costuma ir ao mercado?

Campo de Ourique market


I am kind of person that adores ‘small talks’, ‘simple chats’ with people on the street ,in the shop ,in the park…so that is one of the reasons I adore markets.
You know the feeling when you enter at some place and it feels like home. All familiar nice faces, people complimenting you, even if you didn’t go there for some time they behave as they spoke with you yesterday. This is how I feel at Mercado do Campo de Ourique.

Saturday rithual

Visiting market in Principe Real on Saturday already makes part of our week routine, so this Saturday we didn’t miss it. I was looking for some ingredients for cake I was making to bring to my friend house for Sunday lunch and I finished with a lot more then that.
If you are looking for biological fruits and vegetables this is a place you should go.
