Nada's Lebanese home cooking

The Montville Growers and Makers Market aims to support and showcase local producers and this month the Chickpea Chef, who has recently joined our market, will delight market-goers with authentic traditional Lebanese food.   

The Chickpea Chef is a family-run business that aims to provide the Sunshine Coast community with extremely flavoursome Lebanese products that are naturally vegan.  The recipes that are used come straight from Nada Owens (who was born in Lebanon) and encompass many generations of love and expertise. 

Using only high quality natural ingredients, the Chickpea Chef sell a variety of Lebanese pastries and savouries, as well as their very popular award-winning falafel mix, all being available in take-home packs. 

We also have Bernard of Crystal Waters Bakery with his impressive array of organic sourdough breads and French pastries, and Kylie of Wild Thyme Kitchen, with the most perfect of home-made pasta, freshly crushed pesto, and pizza bases ready to go.  

Kim and Lindsay will be there with their field mushrooms and you’ll also find the most seriously sweet and flavoursome bananas grown on the steep eastern slopes of Montville.

Local craftspeople, including our Young Entrepreneurs stall, will impress market-goers with their skills, capacity and innovation. 

Sweet or savoury pancake breakfasts and loose-leaf tea are served on the light-filled deck and espresso is available from Dom's coffee caravan under the glorious Moreton Bay Figs.

Free kids art activities - this month 'en plein air' market sketching and live music make the market an affordable and fun outing full of character and community, perfect for families and individuals (and dogs).

Next Montville Market Saturday March 9, 7.30am to midday at Montville Village Hall and surrounds. All welcome!
