Woori Mart
For the Kim-Lee family, it’s kitchen and community first as its members put a very personal stamp on their Korean-leaning Asian market in Mercer County. Whether you come for the top-tier prepared foods or a weekly stock-up (or both), an education in culture awaits.
Filling the Boat
At Cape May County’s Scallop Shack Farms, expansion is the direct result of extraordinary products and a desire to serve the seafood-buying public in the manner they deserve to become accustomed.
Bonanza of Bounty
The farmers and food artisans are ready – and so should you be, too: It’s high spring season at some of the biggest and busiest buy-direct markets in the Garden State. We check out three and find both longtime favorites and new loves.
Shopping Right
Three, two, one – head to a farmers’ market! Buy fresh-as-it-gets directly from the grower, producer, maker. It’s the most gloriously abundant time of the year, and it’s just beginning.
Atul Bakery
Savories and sweets from a bakeshop born in Gujarat, India, and taking seed in the Garden State offer alternatives to usual grab-and-go fare. Will it give a long-timer in the game a run for its money?
Ringing Endorsements
Finding that just-right ingredient can spark inspiration to create something quite different than the usual dishes for a day that's become a significant eating holiday.
Wild in the Treats
Vegan, anyone? Or gluten-free? For diehards or toe-dippers, there’s a new bakeshop in Atlantic Highlands to suit choice or mood.
Winter Farmers’ Markets, Class of ’24
There is no better, wiser resolution you can make than to shop the Garden State’s winter farmers’ markets, even if it means taking a bit of a trip to stock up on what our farmers and artisans are growing and producing. It’s toasting all-around good health – and the best eating.
Get Prepared
Do the shop-to-serve shuffle and forget the chopping and sauteing. If you hit the ethnic uber-markets’ prepared foods sections, you can host a party without clutching a knife.
Smoked Salmon Chowder
South Jersey Smoke House gives Garden Staters a chowder of our own with a new and singular stewy soup. (Or is it a soupy stew?)
Kewpie Plus Umami
Start with the Japanese mayo. Whisk in anchovy powder. Or seaweed salt. You’ll find many ways to take it from there.
Sour Cherries
Fruit is what these fresh little guys with the sunny-red color are all about. Eat them out of hand while you can – their season is way too short – and partner them with blueberries for a dessert to salute this holiday weekend.
