At the Market: Strawberry Goodness with Chef Ty

By Mississippi's College Town · Comments (0)
Thursday, May 9th, 2013

Last Saturday, Starkville Main Street launched the 2013 season of the Starkville Community Market with a great crowd, live music and plenty of home-grown and hand-crafted goodness. The growers and activities for opening day were just a taste of what’s in store for the summer! Lots of fresh fun has been planned for each Saturday, and new farmers and vendors are being certified every week. In addition to the Market’s favorite growers and makers showcasing their fresh produce, baked and canned goods, and hand-crafted items, Market plans also include a schedule of culinary and gardening demonstrations to share ideas and information about using fresh foods in your kitchen and incorporating them into your garden at home.

Chef Ty Thames of Main Street’s Restaurant Tyler kicked off the summer series of culinary demonstrations last week with a delicious breakfast idea using fresh items he’d found just that morning at the Market! He created a sweet and creamy strawberry and basil yogurt spread served over homemade bread — a healthy, fresh and easy idea for breakfast, brunch, afternoon tea or snacks. The bread, strawberries and basil were all purchased from local vendors just a few booths away. As he prepared the snack samples for everyone to enjoy, Chef Ty shared with the crowd how he seeks out fresh ingredients like those found at the Market in creating his menu for Restaurant Tyler. He even uses items from some of the growers participating in the Market this summer!

There were lots of smiling faces leaving the table as Chef Ty shared his samples, and I believe there was line at the strawberry vendor shortly after! Ty was kind enough to share is recipe for Saturday’s morning snack so that it could be posted here. Enjoy making this snack at home, and keep your eyes open for more great demonstrations at the Market this summer.

STRAWBERRY & BASIL YOGURT SPREAD

1 cup yogurt
2 cups strawberries (diced)
1 cup pecans (chopped)
1 oz honey
1 tablespoon basil (chopped)

In mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir.

The Greater Starkville Development Partnership is proud to partner with Starkville High School to host a two-day Starkville election event… an Aldermen Candidates Forum and Mayoral Debate on Monday and Tuesday, April 29-30 at the Greensboro Center Auditorium.

The students of Starkville High School Promote the Vote committee and the school’s journalism program approached the Partnership about helping to facilitate a Mayoral Debate, which has since been expanded to include the Aldermen Candidate Forum.

Monday night’s Aldermen Candidate Forum will consist of pre-formed questions submitted to the candidates in advance as well as a selection of questions taken from the audience during the event and live through Twitter using the hashtag #StkElects13 and the @mscollegetown account. Questions for consideration may be submitted via twitter using the hashtag or delivered to the GSDP office up until the event.

Tuesday night’s Mayoral Debate will be moderated by Aundrea Self of WCBI and will be conducted in a traditional debate format with topics centered around six local issues selected by the SHS student committees. Questions will not be released until the debate begins.
The public is invited to attend these important bi-partisan events, which will also be televised live on local WOBV cable and online.
