Weekdays tend to be the same. Get up early and if you are lucky have breakfast before heading off for the commute.
So it is good to shake things up on the weekend and do something completely different.
So how about a much more leisurely breakfat tour? For this experience you don't get up that early, you don't have to make your own breakfast and instead head off to the Preston Market for a progressive feast. One you don't have to cook.
This very cheap tour (only $20) includes food stops along the way as well as coffee of course. The tour also includes a Preston Market $5 shopping voucher and an attractive eco bag.
Raffaela Ceddia the Chief Eating Officer of Flavourhood Tours takes the tours. If that is real job title it certainly one to aspire to.
She will share her passion for small, local businesses, recipes that have been handed down through generations and unique food experiences.
One of the purposes of this tour is to encourage people to visit the lest touristy parts of Melbourne and get in amongst the locals.
During the 2.5 hour tour, you'll taste your way around all sections of the market. From fresh seafood to 'unusual' meats, unique deli items, organic produce that promotes good gut health, seasonal fruits, award-winning paella and more.
You'll learn the history of the market while chatting to some of the friendly and outgoing traders who will share their foodie tips on how to select and prepare the freshest ingredients for you and your family.
This is a really colourful market where the local community shop, eat & catch-up and you can not only observe but become part of this vibrant community on this hosted trip.
And you'll be so inspired with what you learn and the unique new foods and recipes you pick up that you are sure to use that $5 voucher and shake up the week's meals with some exciting new ingredients. Something to look forward to after that commute home.
