This Saturday, in addition to our usual market from 8:30 am – 2 pm, we are thrilled to host recipe developer Pierce Abernathy at the market to promote his new cookbook, “Every Leaf, Every Stem“.

Pierce will sign books and prepare a delicious recipe featuring seasonal ingredients sourced directly from our farmers. Copies of the cookbook will be available for purchase so that you can bring home inspiration for vegetable-forward dishes year-round!

Join us to meet the author, get a signed book, enjoy a sample of the recipe, and shop the market for fresh regional produce and locally made food from over 120 vendors.

This recipe demo and book signing event is generously supported by Snow Peak and Vivienne Culinary Books.

If you can’t make it to the market this Saturday, you can catch Pierce on Sunday night for a menu collaboration at Takibi on NW 23rd – RSVP here.

You can also pick up a signed copy at Vivienne Culinary Books on NE Alberta.
