Upcoming event: FREE cooking demonstrations on Tuesday mornings
For the next three weeks, "Mish Delish" will be giving free cooking demonstrations in the Market Square on Tuesday mornings 11am - 12pm (7 September and 14 September).
Mish Lilley - Home Cook, Blogger, Writer and Cooking Demonstrator
Creator of popular food blog mishdelish.com, Mish launched her food career with her catering business Mishka La Mushka. But after feeding over 600 hungry mouths at the launch of the Volvo XC90, designing food in endless hat boxes for the Spring Racing Carnival and creating too many themed kids birthday parties to mention, Mish realised her true passion was creating restaurant quality meals at home for her family and friends. Now with three kids under five, Mish understands how hard it can be to get good food on the table let alone get your kids to eat it. At her Prahran Market demonstrations, Mish will share hints and tricks from keeping an organised pantry to creating amazing meals in your own kitchen. Come along and get inspired!
What's New in the Market?
Maris Piper potatoes

It's a very popular choice for fish and chip shops over there as they are so reliable to cook well every time. In for a limited season only, Michael Mow gourmet potatoes has them in now.
