Saturday marked the 12th Anniversary of the Serra Talhada Agroecological Market (FAST). To commemorate, we decided to bake some typical English recipes. The money raised through our products we donated to the market.
We made three types of different sweet. We wanted to make items that allowed us to make the most out of the produce available to us through our families – all of the fruit and the honey used in the recipes below were sourced from the organic farmers here in Poço do Serrote.
Here are the three recipes:

Our baked goods aside, CECOR offered free breakfast of cake and juice to everyone. These cakes were all prepared by the market traders, and included manioc, corn and wheat flour cakes, and juices of various types. There was also a bingo – the winner won a sheep to take home. All of us at the community were very upset not to win. It was a really fun day. I have to say that I always look forward to market day – I love the joking around with the other traders, and chatting to them and the customers. This Saturday was even better than others. I am really going to miss this when I go home.
