Wow, is pretty much how that went. The Berkeley Farmers’ Market is a pretty low key situtation to begin with. This is one of the reasons I choose to hang out here, the quality of the vendors and customers is quite high. The prices vary quite a bit, but this is to be expected. The best part was that I got to hang out in my home town/market for the offical celebration day.
Our crew were nestled in with the regular vendors (it was free Strawberry Tasting Day), we had theatre seating along with some loudspeaker setup. We stood out, but it was okay. Owen took the head and lead us through readings, demonstrations and the handing out of literature. Biggles don’t know nothin’, I got two strong arms. Biggles can help.
The best part was when my friend Paul and his wife Peggy showed up with his home smoked Chipotle chile peppers. Not only did I score big time (he included a great recipe) but this gave Owen some unexpected ingredients for his surprise Strawberry Salsa (I have penty left Paul, thanks mang).
Thank you,
Biggles

I wish I could be there, but I’m in the wrong part of the state! I’ll have to get on the ball and order a copy. I’m sure that with everyone’s enthusiasm that book will be a success.
Hey Nic,
Yes, get yourself a copy. I’m really impressed. It’s too bad I didn’t get to see it before Saturday. The entries people chose are top notch writing and recipes. I would have been able to give people more to go on, I believe.
Sunday worked out really well, at the book store. People showed up and listened to us authors talk about our web sites, history and so forth. Owen did a demonstration on how to properly make a cup of tea, very cool. All in all a good afternoon.

I keep missing the market cos I’m out of town – this weekend is no exception. Hope to cheat on my diet soon with something from fatted calf.
Hi,
I’m doing an assignment on food blogging. I was wondering if you can you tell me if the book Digital Dish includes photographs or illustrations? If so, what kind? Were they styled for the book, or just taken from websites?
Thanks for your help,
Abi Dennis
