Sharing the love with Jasmine

How long have you been a fan/shopper of Double Bay Market

I have been a fan for over 2 years.  I live right next door to the markets and every Thursday I wake up with a smile on my face because I am near the adorable farm animals, friendly people and beautiful market stalls filled with freshly made food! :)

What is it about these markets, in your opinion, that makes it not only a great place to shop, but also to hang and chillout on a Thursday

Well, in my opinion not only is Double Bay Market a great place for everyone, it also has a sense of serenity to it that is almost homely.  The vibe is relaxing and I recommend that anyone who wants a nice day out with the kids, friends or even by themselves should visit these markets.

Do you have a favourite stallie

Oh goodness no!  I can't choose with so many beautiful stalls!

Is there an absolute must-buy or fave recipe you make using produce from our markets

There is a brownie filled with walnuts I tried, which was freshly made and after one bite I literally almost died of happiness (we are sure Pastry Ninja will LOVE hearing how this made Jasmine's day!)

What 5 words would you use to encourage anyone who might need to take time, breath and enjoy life on a Thursday: aka Double Bay Market

Peaceful

Welcoming

Homely

Appetising

Idyllic

Wish we could say we didn't agree but obviously we can't!  Massive round of applause to Jasmine for not only loving our markets but sharing it with us and her wonderful photo of her much beloved Pastry Ninja brownie!

5 Questions with Pastry Ninja

How did Pastry Ninja come in to being

Pastry Ninja came about in 2008. I had just moved into a property a few doors down from Marrickville Market in Addison Road.  This was the beginning.

Once I saw the market I wanted to become part of it!

The name was thought out on a rainy day, sitting at home mid July 2008.

I had a few names on paper and someone just commented about me working like a Ninja and that was that...Pastry Ninja was born.

You have "just the right size" in the tartlettes where for it would be a "get your own. THIS is mine!".  Was this a deliberate choice or was it more of a learning from the customer type evolution

Yes the tart size are just the right size.

Melissa and I just both chose the same tart case to go with it. But yes, we were thinking it was the perfect size for one (person)

What would be your best seller at market

The best seller is definitely the Lemon Meringue Pie

Now firm faves amongst the Double Bay Market community, what role does market life take in the life of the Pastry Ninja

Market life is our life.  We participate in 6 markets around Sydney every week.  So right now it is 100% of Pastry Ninja's life.....well maybe 99%

How would you sum up life at Double Bay Market in 5 words

Charming, relaxing, Jim (manager), quaint, romantic

Having personally tasted just about every item the Ninja's have on offer we can attest to their yumminess and more importantly suggest you get yourselves to Double Bay Market to sample some yourselves. 

The Pastry Ninja can also be found at our Frenchs Forest Market (Sundays) and our Marrickville Markets (Sundays) so no excuse not to seek them out!
