A tour of my local Asian Supermarket

Fiona Staunton • January 20, 2018

I have been meaning to make this video for a long time, lots of advice on what you can find in your local Asian supermarket

At my cookery classes I often suggest the best place to buy all the ingredients. I shop in a variety of places, local markets, supermarkets, health food shops, butchers, fish shops and Asian supermarkets. I have often heard of people bumping into each other at the shop after one of my cookery demos

On Friday, I made a Facebook Live video at my local Asian Supermarket in Stillorgan. Below is a list of what I tend to buy from there, and a short vlog!
