The Continental Market Returns to Shetland!

Published on June 6, 2014 • Last updated July 18, 2014 by Elizabeth
The Continental Market in Lerwick June 2013

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!

      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!

      Yep! 😀 Me too and I don’t get the chance to do it very often. I’m really looking forward to this!

Welcome to Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary, Scotland’s most northerly award-winning food blog.

I’m based in the wild and remote Shetland Islands, where I’ve been sharing my adventure-fuelling recipes since 2011.

As seen on Shetland: Scotland’s Wondrous Isles on Channel 5 and Made of Here – A road trip for the ages through television on the BBC.

“Never underestimate the power of your own story. Life may have taken unexpected turns, but it’s never too late to weave new threads of adventure into your tapestry. Keep spinning those yarns, my friend.
