I reckon one of the easiest and most
rewarding things you can do as a food lover is to start buying your fresh food
from places other than the supermarket. I get my vegetables from Fruit World,
Harvest, Pt Chev’s Little Hero, weekend markets and, when I can manage it, from
Art of Produce in Crummer Road, a great little Auckland secret where chefs and
hotels get their fruit and veg each morning but which is open to the curious
public too. None of these places is more expensive than the supermarket but
they’re all fresher, more personal and with more interesting vegetables. Look,
above, it’s a grilled radicchio, mozzarella, tomato and fresh basil pesto salad
made after one particularly awesome Saturday morning haul.
