Mother’s Day Treats

What’s the perfect way to thank the mother in your life for the wonderful things she does for you all year long? Well, we have more than a couple of ideas! Stop by Union Market and check out our selection of Mother’s Day flowers, treats, and breakfast-in-bed supplies.

First things first: no Mother’s Day is complete without flowers, and we have bouquets upon bouquets of beautiful blooms from Long Island’s Dutch Petals that are bound to make Mom’s day much brighter.

Recipe: Linguine with Ramps, Cockles, Smoked Bacon and Breadcrumbs

Union Market Recipe - Linguine with Ramps and Cockles

It’s that wonderful time of year again: spring is here and ramps are on the rampage!

While there’s no shortage of delicious things to make out of these wild green onions (like pesto for starters), we can’t think of any better way to showcase the funky, sweet, oniony flavors of this seasonal treat than in a gorgeous tangle of perfectly cooked linguine with ramps, clams, smoked bacon, and a scattering of crunchy breadcrumbs.

Recipe: Savory Matzo Brei with Salmon and Dill

Union Market's savory brei recipe for Passover

Preparing for Passover Seder? We’ve got everything you’ll need to create a truly memorable meal, including a selection of matzo and baked goods, antibiotic-free meat and poultry, and our housemade prepared foods.

Passover also happens to be the perfect opportunity to make this flavorful matzo brei. It’s packed with salmon, fresh parsley and dill, chopped capers, and just a hint of Old Bay seasoning. We like to serve it warm, topped with sour cream and alongside a salad. READ MORE

Recipe: Pan-Roasted Shrimp with Leeks and Goat Cheese

This is one of those magical dishes that feels light but still manages to be incredibly satisfying. Sweet potatoes and sautéed leeks lend a mild sweetness to the dish that’s complemented by the creamy, earthy goat cheese and briny, perfectly cooked shrimp.

Best of all, the whole thing comes together in a flash. Make it for a weeknight dinner for two or just multiply the quantities for a quick but impressive meal when you’re entertaining.

Recipe: Madeleines with Sumac and Cayenne

Union Market Recipe Savory Madeleines with Sumac and Cayenne

Colder weather is the perfect time to break out your mixing bowls, baking pans, and whisks. There’s nothing like the aroma of something baking to make your home feel warm and welcoming, even on the chilliest winter day.

As much as we enjoyed indulging in all the sweet confections on hand during the holiday season, now that January’s here, we’re in the mood for a baked treat that’s a little less sweet.

Oysters & Caviar for New Year’s Eve

Union Market Sustainable Caviar for New Year's Eve

What better way to say goodbye to 2018 than with a bevy of beautiful, fresh oysters, chilled to perfection, with a little mignonette on the side. We have Sewansecotts, Wellfleets, Kusshis, and a whole host of other delicious bivalves from up and down the East and West Coasts. And don’t worry about shucking them—our fishmongers can take care of that for you.

If you really want to treat yourself, take home a jar (or two!) of our sustainable caviar—just a spoonful on warm blini drenched in butter, or with a slick of crème fraîche on a slice of toasted baguette is the perfect indulgence to ring in the New Year.

Our Thanksgiving Menu

Do you love the side dishes at the Thanksgiving table as much (or more!) than the turkey itself? We can’t say we blame you, especially when they include delicious, seasonally inspired dishes like the ones our chef Sandro Romano has created for our Thanksgiving Menu, all made right here in Union Market’s own Park Slope kitchen.
