With a keen eye on the latest cooking trends and a genuine love for helping people cook and entertain, Tracey from Jagger Fine Foods is just as passionate about connecting with her customers as she is about curating quality, locally inspired products.
Your stall is known for its wide variety of gourmet products. Which items are the most popular with your customers?
Dips! Our dips are all handmade by Jagger using quality local ingredients. We usually have over 20 dips to choose from and we create specials all the time.
How do you decide which products to offer, and do you collaborate with other local producers?
I’m passionate about knowledge of food, keeping an eye on cooking trends and always consider customers asking for different products.
With the festive season approaching, are there any special products, gift packs, or hampers you’re particularly excited about?
I’m excited about our Christmas hampers, we’ll have lots of gift products, puddings, panettones and we’ll even make some Christmas dips!
What do you enjoy most about connecting with customers at the Market?
I love talking about food! I love to share my culinary knowledge and encourage people to eat real food. I’m always happy to share my tips for making a beautiful meal.
For home cooks, what’s a simple yet impressive dish they could create using your products?
Lots of pasta dishes – you could create a classic puttanesca, carbonara, risotto with truffle. Or even make an easy meal using a Beerenberg meal base with just a few ingredients.
Do you have a favourite product combination from your stall that you often recommend to customers?
Good oil. I always recommend grapeseed oil and olive oil at the same time. They have different uses and I can recommend the best oil depending on what dish you will be creating.
If you had a free morning at the Adelaide Central Market, which stall would you visit first (aside from your own)?
I love to visit Dough, they have beautiful Turkish bread and lemon curd tarts (which I love to pair with my chilli honey, fresh cream and mint take your dessert to the next level).
Find Jagger Fine Foods at Stall 38, Adelaide Central Market (44 – 60 Gouger St, Adelaide).
