Hobart, TAS

Overview

Ainsley heads south to Tasmania to take in Hobart’s famous Salamanca market. Known for it’s rich soil, clean air, pure water and passionate growers, Ainsley’s on a mission to find out if the Tassie produce really lives up to the hype. From the moment Ainsley sets foot in the market he is inspired to cook by the high quality fruit and vegetables. His menu starts with a colourful salad of grilled vegetables that he tops with a luscious ash log cheese and pickled walnuts. Next, Ainsley can’t go past farmer Bob’s Tassie apples, whipping up an ‘Apple Isle and Walnut French Toast’. And to finish things off Ainsley finds some of the world’s best oysters for a deep fried, spicy treat that has the market goers coming back for more.
