Douglaston Green Market to Host Cooking Demonstrations

Attendees can learn how to make ratatouille, Italian cuisine during upcoming events.

Douglaston's green market will host cooking demonstrations by the market's manager and the chef of a popular local Italian eatery during the next two weeks.

On Sept. 30, manager Ashley Rafalow will whip up some ratatouille made up of local ingredients.

Alex Privilegi, of Douglaston's Il Toscano Restaurant, will host a demonstration during which he will show attendees how to cook several Italian recipes on Oct. 7.


And, on Oct. 14, the market will host Harvest Portraits, during which families can have their picture snapped amid the community's scenic autumn setting.

The green market is located in the traffic circle of Douglaston's Long Island Rail Road station. It is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Sunday through Nov. 18.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
