FOOD LOVER’S GUIDE TO THE RIGA – GAUJA REGION MARKETS RIGA CENTRAL MARKET Riga Central Market, included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, astonishes with its magnitude and vitality. The massiveness of its above-ground presence comes from airship hangars inherited from Germany at the beginning of the 20th century.

Seasonal products from Latvia’s forests, waters and farms arrive here every day. Nēģu iela 7. Open daily.

Polish, Swedish, German and Russian cuisine are seen as the primary influences, but Latvian cuisine maintains its link to nature, preferring to utilise farm- or forest-fresh produce. This holds true to this day. The Gourmand’s Guide is an invaluable source for getting to know the cuisine of the Riga-Gauja Region. It is a one-stop shop for information on our restaurants, markets, points of interest and events for food devotees who appreciate nature’s bounty and its seasonal flavours. It is also an invitation to savour the culinary diversity of the Riga-Gauja Region, because what is not available in city restaurants can be located in delightful farmers’ markets (and vice-versa). Use our recommendations to experience the hospitality of our homesteads and artisan food producers. It is hardly surprising then, that in 2017, we will be a European Gastronomic Region – we have much to offer both our own people and every European lover of fine food! RHUBARB Latvia’s proclaimer of the new gastronomic year. Every Latvian household has a Rhubarb patch, not only for its useful traits, but also for its good looks. Frequently used in large amounts for gourmandian immoderations – Rhubarb pie, Rhubarb dumplings, Rhubarb jelly, Rhubarb ice-cream, Rhubarb Chutney, Rhubarb jam, Rhubarb salad, Rhubarb wine, candied Rhubarb, etc. SPRING For gourmets, the year starts in spring with birch sap and maple syrup, whose just-tapped freshness lasts but a brief moment. Just about everyone – not only gourmets – following winter hibernation, crave the first greens that sprout up - aromatic, succulent, crisp and chock full of vitamins. SORREL The first appearance of Sorrel obliges even hardened city-dwellers to go out into the meadows and seek these small, bright-green, vitamin-rich leaves, an unmis- takable sign that spring has truly arrived. Latvians use Sorrel in many ways – for salads, soup, for breakfast with cottage cheese and many more ways. CATFISH The largest fish in Latvia, it can reach up to 250 kilos in weight. To make catfish more delicate, one should leave a whole gutted catfish for two to three days in cold in order to serve a pinkish fish of light consistency. The fishbone can be used for making a strong bouillon. SUMMER Latvian summers are short but nonetheless full of gastronomic goodies that can be savoured in the right place, at the right time. Summertime is when Latvians are earthbound, so to speak, they have the uncanny ability to commune with Mother Nature. Nothing provides more pleasure than tending a garden, venturing deep into a forest for wild strawberries or chanterelle mushrooms, or choosing a spot lake or riverside for fishing. CLOUDBERRIES Cloudberries hide in deep and far marshes. However, if you are lucky to find them, they can be used in making of a honeyed jam which perfectly complements dessert cheeses or fruit salad. Despite everything, cloudberry is the queen of contemporary forest gastronomy. SOUR CHERRIES The sour cherries are excellent for one’s health, as, besides vitamins and minerals, the sweet-sour berries contain a lot of melatonin, which helps the human body to fight aging and insomnia. Devoted housekeepers insist that a jam or wine should be made just from the sour ones. CYDONIA Cydonia or more accurately shrub Quince has become known as our lemon, the pride of Latvia and one of con- temporary Latvian cuisine’s trademarks. Today Quince is an element of the culinary art, utilized as a marinade for lamb, a component of tangy homemade dessert wines, and for jams perfect for select cheese plates. AUTUMN The Latvian proverb has it that ‘autumn is a rich man’; thereby the populace knows how to ‘reap what it sows’- literally! The beautiful and scrumptious penny-bun mushrooms, just waiting to be picked or the abundant quince, that yellow fruit perfect for syrups or candied peel, or on a plate with game meat. BOLETUS MUSHROOM We Latvians are a mushroom-foraging nation, and the boletus (porcini) is considered the pinnacle for modern-day hunter-gatherers. Simply sautéed with butter, braised in cream with new potatoes, marinated, sun-dried, a side dish for seafood, beef, as a pâté ... we could continue this delicious list forever! Remember though – the ones you pick yourself taste best. VENISON Latvia abounds in deer parks, wide open, impeccably managed, with clean air and water, and lushly forested. Venison is perfect for autumn stews – a scrumptious staple of any family’s Saturday or Sunday dinner and served as tartare or steaks in select restaurants. RYE BREAD It goes without saying: nowhere on planet Earth the rye bread is more delicious than in Latvia, and it’s taste is a result of our history, memories, dreams, and philosophy on the order of things. It’s not surprising that rye bread is what every Latvian living abroad craves for. WINTER Cold and damp weather in Latvia results in fare that is rich and filling, with character. Simple but sturdy foods from garden vegetables and grains. Potatoes and barley, rye products – through the centuries are a reminder of home fires burning. But what about the rowan berries? Beautiful and mildly tart - for a real taste of life. TURNIP Making our noble contribution to the current renaissance in long forgotten herbs and veggies – we give you: the turnip, stupendous in stews! Or simply baked in the oven, but better yet – in a salad with smoked fish and nuts. The turnip – just doing what comes naturally! ROWAN Dried and powdered, the red-orange rowan berry is a subtle spice for various sauces and marinades. In jellies and marmelade it is an ideal accent for meat dishes or mild cheese. And as a liquid additive for your cocktail, it is the best that a berry can offer alcohol. DZINTARS KRISTOVSKIS Riga-Gauja region with its special concept "Wild at Palate" has been titled as European Region of Gastronomy 2017. Chef and master of herbs and spices Dzintars Kristovskis from the restaurant "Valmiermuiža’s Beer Kitchen", has been appointed official Ambassador. He says: "If you look at some of the most iconic cuisines of the world and put it in perspective, what they all have in common is that they are based off products and ingredients that come from that particular region. It is these raw products and ingredients that have made them popular. We, too, had our fundamental values, but at some point in history we began to drift away from them. Therefore it has to be understood: that what we are trying to create is not a new trend, but going back to our roots. Through what is characteristic of the region, through the taste that comes from this land." BIRCH AND MAPLE SAP The colder the winter, the sweeter the sap. The sap is used as a fermented or non-fermented drink, to make wine, sorbets, in ice flakes, salad dressings, bouillons, spirits, beauty compresses, and as a detoxing cure – a good thing there’s so much of it. At home, fermented saps are filled into bottles and supplemented with a pinch of sugar, some raisins, a blackcurrant twig, or lemon peel.
