Hi, Jos! Great video, as always! ❤ The use if the mushroom powder really depends on the mushroom itself. Regular ones (can porcini be considered as regular? 😅) i use to sprinkle over rice as any other regular spice or use to make sauces. Mushroom powder has a very distinctive mushroom aroma, so you can use it in your dishes to give them mushroom flavor.

Ok that’s good to know. They had quite a selection of different mushrooms but I was tempted to try some powders but unsure how best to use in dishes. I really love truffles and the flavour and it’s currently truffle season in NZ so I might incorporate a mushroom powder with some of my truffles. Thanks for the ideas! 🤗

@@josatkin I love-love-love truffles, their flavor and aroma! I hope you will get the most out of the truffle season!!

[@josatkin]

@@alisa-c2s I love the taste. NZ mainly produces Black Perigord truffles. I usually make truffle butter and freeze it so I have a nice regular supply of truffle throughout the year that I can add to a variety of dishes. 😋

What a fabulous market! I would go crazy and buy far too much, I live for them in the summertime. The chai turmeric latte will be amazing. I just bought a pecan tart from a favourite bakery on Friday.

I’ve been quite obsessed with chai turmeric lattes and have them everyday. It was such a lovely trip to Matakana Farmer’s Market and I plan on doing a playlist of all different food markets around Auckland that you might enjoy.

Very nice market 👌 👍 thank you for taking us along 😊

[@josatkin]

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the market. It was a lovely relaxing morning trying new things and enjoying the winter sunshine ☀️

Thank you for the video. The smoked honey sounded interesting. That sun looks great!! Regards.

[@josatkin]

The smoked honeycomb was really distinctive and worked well with the blue cheese. I've never had a smoked honey before so it was nice to try out at the market. 😋 I'm quite glad I popped out to get a hat as it was quite hot in the end ☀️

[@susanhayward2063]

@@josatkin I like the idea of the blue cheese with smoked honey. Think I'll try that. Upmarket grocery shop here I come!!(Again). Actually Waitrose might sell the smoked honeycomb or smoked honey off the comb itself. Thank you for the idea.

[@josatkin]

@@susanhayward2063 Yes I would expect Waitrose would probably have something like that. I'm unable to bring honeycomb into NZ from overseas as it's prohibited but I will see what options they do have when I'm next in Harrods. The blue cheese and smoked honey was delicious though!

Its my dream to explore New Zealand one day and soon I will be living it! Thanks for the awesome content. I really feel like I am there. I am 28 and haven't really explored much but from next year I will.

[@josatkin]

New Zealand is a great place. It sounds like you’ll get the chance to enjoy the country soon then. 🤗

[@ThatSalesforceGuy]

@@josatkin Yes! Till then thanks alot for the content, I am loving it!

The crystal pretty much looks like a green quartz.

[@josatkin]

That’s handy to know. I really like the colour and they look nice in my place. Really quite affordable too. I didn’t realise there was a separate Matakana village market next to the farmers market so it was a nice surprise.

@@josatkin farmers' markets are fun. I really enjoyed them while traveling through Italy and France. I got a few unique hand embroidered pillow cases there and some other interesting stuff. I wish you more lovely finds!

[@josatkin]

@@alisa-c2s I do like seeing other farmer's markets in other countries which is why I thought it might be fun to do a playlist on markets.

[@alisa-c2s]

@@josatkin great idea 👍😍! That would be fun!
