Wood Wharf Farmers Market
Last weekend we headed to the Wood Wharf Farmers Market located behind Canary Wharf. It was a beautifully sunny day and we enjoyed the ambiance of the market whilst watching the men’s and women’s volleyball teams and sampling some delicious food.
A Farmers Market in such an urban landscape was quite surreal.
The selection of organic vegetables from Wild Country Organics in Cambridge was delightful and so colourful. We bought some organic chilli peppers and tomatoes which tasted amazing and have been savoured in several meals this week.
Imogen ran around, played with her ball and made friends with other children.
A selection of scrumptious patisserie from Bermondsey were too tempting to walk past!
Leek and Potato Soup
This is such an easy recipe for a really nutritious meal. I make this soup using all organic vegetables, they’re free from chemicals so better for your family and the soup will taste delicious.
This Leek and Potato Soup recipe can be prepared in 10 minutes and within 30 minutes you’ll be sitting down and enjoying ladles of hearty, warm and filling soup.
Serve with some crusty bread on the side for lunch and the family will be full until dinner time.
