Finally, after quite a hiatus from blogging, we've relocated to Konstanz [on the German/Swiss border] and are feeling settled in. So I'm glad to say, I'm now free to enjoy the great produce and food it has to offer.
The market I usually go to is in the old town at St Stephansplatz. It's very good and there's a real focus on 'bio' [organic] and thankfully, plenty of free range eggs.
At the moment there are plenty of berries, a large range of tomatoes and mushrooms [which I'm very excited about].
Pfifferlinge, the orange coloured mushrooms [pictured] from Gunnar Doberstein's stall [mushroom specialist] are in season now and very plentiful. They are a wild mushroom from Austria and it seems that everyone loves them! All the restaurants have a separate pfifferlinge menu in honour of the season. My favourite dish is Semmel Knodel or Servietten Knodel [will post photos soon] which is a traditional dumpling served with anything in a cream sauce, which in this case is pfifferlinge. A perfect combination.
The cheese maker is Rolf Keller, pictured here with his range of Bregenzerwalder Alpkase [alpine cheese: mild, medium and matured]. He makes a few other varieties including Tilsiter and Romadur. Rolf's cheeses seem popular with other market goers as well. Beautiful and fresh.
we don't get berries like that in Brisbane! How beautiful and also wonderful to see you settled & enjoying your new home. Love to you both xx
