Something weird was in the sky this morning... The sun! And the weirder thing is that it wasn't raining sideways... It wasn't raining at all! So with a free morning Tom and I took a stroll to Stockbridge market to buy some store cupboard luxuries and take a gander a the picturesque village scenery and stare at properties we could only dream to afford!
Stockbridge market is a favourite with foodies in Edinburgh. It's compact and bursting with bakers, meat suppliers, artisan teas, Japanese street food, an abundance of chutneys and so much more! We made a few purchases down there but honestly I was fighting with myself to not buy an item from every stall...

My Curry Kit! :)
I bought a Cambodian curry kit- Cari K'hom. The paste contains, ginger, coriander, garlic, turmeric, green chilli, nutmeg, star anise, shallots and some other yummy spices. The kit includes a green chilli, kaffir lime leaves and dry spice mix. It can be made with a mixture of vegetables and meat. The lady on the stall told me chicken or lamb would be the most tasty meat to use but then I can add any veg I'd like. I need to buy a can of coconut milk but you could buy the kit with this in. Watch this space for a completed curry soon!

Syruplicious!
We bought a balsamic vinegar and honey syrup as we love crusty bread, meats, cheeses and a balsamic dip. The guy on the stall said this sweet and tangy syrup would match drizzled over strawberries. It's really moreish and we'll be having it anti-pasti style.
Stockbridge market is really cute and has such a wide range of stalls. I highly recommend a visit even if you're just going to try some freebies and soak up the village atmosphere.
Visit Stockbridge Market.
