It's ‘grow-slow’ time for fruit and vegetables and the varieties and prices have not moved much this week. This gives me the opportunity to bring you up to speed on other fantastic products available in the Market.

Bread
Mylor Bakery is a family business with a simple philosophy. No shortcuts, no nonsense, no glitzy labels and no fancy techniques. Instead, they say the quality of their bread is from long fermentation, gentle handling and the best oven. I bought the fruit loaf from Kate's Patisserie, S50, and it was fantastic - $8 each.
Special
Bruna Carrodis has the only Bienenstich in the market. The famed Barossa Bee Sting cake is made in her family bakery, Enjoy, and delivered daily to Bakers Tray, S25. Bruna's version of Bienenstich is a cake filled with sweet, gooey custard and topped with honey-glazed almonds. The name has mixed historical derivations, including the bakers’ being stung whilst stealing the honey for the almond topping and bakers who lobbed beehives at raiders from neighbouring villages.
