Chef's Pantry

Return to food that is ‘real’

Farmers Markets have sprung up across South Africa over the past 4 to 5 years.
The world over there is a return to food that is ‘real’. By real we mean organic,
grown as nature intended and home made produce made with wholesome ingredients
(the way grandma used to make it).

Markets are great social events where early risers may enjoy a wonderful country
breakfast and for those who took time for an extra 40 winks there is lunch at many
of the markets.

Chef’s Pantry is here to provide you with the address of as many Gauteng based
markets as we get to know about. Should you know of a market not listed or wish
your favourite market to be listed please send us all the need to know stuf
