Summer Market Supper

Summer at the Farmer's Market.

A gourmets dream.

Heirloom tomatoes in a dozen varieties, berries and stone fruits overflowing their bins, new soft goat cheeses edged in lavender and rosemary, delicate squash blossoms, mountains of savory basil, ears of sweet white corn and the list goes on. This Supperthyme celebrates the hot summer sun and the bounty it produces. The simplicity of something plucked from the earth that day and prepared to enhance its natural flavors.

Friday, July 27th at 6:30pm we gather to celebrate the bounty of the market shared with friends and soon to be friends. As usual, all items should be from scratch and represent your best efforts, this time inspired by and including what you find in the market. It's not required you visit your local farmer's market, but its recommended, Here's a list of Seattle area markets. You can also check out the same website for inspiration if you can't make it to an actual farmer's market this week. The Ripe & Ready list tells you what's in season in July/early August.
