Last year I blogged about the fantastic experience I had at the continental market held on Commercial Road in Lerwick, the main town here in Shetland.
I am delighted to announce that they are returning again this year! Delicious home made baklava and exotic cheese – here I come!
I am also going to be on the hunt for ingredients to develop a specific recipe: my entry to the Tuscany Now Cook-Off Competition. I’ve never visited Tuscany so my knowledge of their food is limited. I’ve been asked to participate, if I could, and I’m hoping the lovely Italian stall will be returning to the market in Shetland this year for inspiration!
Watch this space… I will be taking lots of photos!

Shetland is on my ‘to do’ list. I have wanted to visit for a long time.Is the market on each year?
Elizabeth
Oh you should visit! It’s not on every year, no. That was the first one, and they did come back again (although not as many) this year. Freight costs are prohibitively expensive so I don’t know if they will be returning again, but I hope so!

I spy Fort Charlotte? It looks lovely…I love trying new foods at markets like these
Elizabeth
Yep! 😀 Me too and I don’t get the chance to do it very often. I’m really looking forward to this!
