Summer squash with blackberries simmered in beer started things off, followed by a warm cabbage and kale salad with a spicy dressing. Lamb sliders with a three-cheese sauce and crispy onions were possibly the biggest crowd pleasers.
Market regular Mike Brabo from Vesterbrook Farm provided the lamb for the cooking demonstration. Not surprisingly, he sold out of lamb last night. Handing the last two pounds to his customer, he assured other market goers that he would be back with more next week and it will still be on special.
