After a three mile run in Prospect Park recently, I had zero intention of buying cheese at the farmer’s market which, each Saturday, fills the north entrance to the park. I was just passing through, enjoying one of the first warm spring days, savoring the sunshine and the plethora of fresh flowers and stalls filled with all sorts of good things- fresh eggs, Ronnybrook milk, turkey and other meats, vegetables and fruits galore. Then I caught sight of a cheese stall, and a table full of open containers, beckoning me to try some. One taste of this orange-scented, walnut-speckled goat cheese and I was transfixed- six dollars later I had my own container. For breakfast, lunch, and a snack that day I spread the remarkable cheese on crusty slices of french bread and apples. It is incredible, made by a sweet woman Pine Bush, NY. I recommend you visit your local farmer’s market and see what you can find.
