At barely 9am, an insanely early hour for a Saturday, I met up with J+M to head to the monthly Pyrmont Grower's Market. Not only was I ignored by both the snotty cheese man and the knife sharpening woman, the markets were pretty outrageously expensive and was catering for a more exclusive Sydney demographic than I belong. I bought some fennel and broccoli from one "grower" that were really woody and disappointing. However, the jam and honey shop had some great stuff and the enthusiastic guy at the olive oil stand gave an interesting tasting demo.
The only bargain of the day was an excellent tray of zucchini flowers for $5. I was at Cafe Sopra's later in the day who claimed that zucchini flowers were out of season. These look pretty in season to me! I stuffed them with ricotta and toasted pine nuts and then battered them in a tempura. Definitely less egg in the tempura batter next time and only dunk the flowers.

That is exactly what our "zu-cumber" flowers look like, I hadn't thought of using them. Thanks for the tip!
