Thursday Obsession: Tarry Market - Field Trip for Foodies


When I was in Greenwich, CT visiting friends, I finally had a chance to visit TARRY MARKET. It was well worth the wait! The market is owned by celebrity chefs, Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali. 


I brought my camera, and my wallet, and could have spent all day! The gourmet store has a wonderful selection of italian coffee, rows and rows of olive oils.


Beautifully packaged baked goods including panettone



An entire case of freshly made pastas. I bought mushroom stuffed ravioli. After cooking the pasta in boiling water, I drained them and tossed them in browned butter with fresh thyme for out-of-town guests. So delicious and so simple!





Assorted breads backed daily



The most amazing collection of cheeses


Honey


Really, really fresh mozarella


And fresh, farm raised beef


And as any good chef knows, a meal is not complete without a great glass of wine


Well worth a trip if you are in the area!

  1. This post makes me want to jump in my car this very minute and head there!! This is my kind of field trip...like a kid in a candy store I could spend all day in a shop like this. Talk about getting inspired to make a great meal!! Thanks for the heads up....we are invited to Greenwich next weekend for a housewarming party so looks like we will be going a little early to make a "pit stop"! Thanks.....
