Chef Meg Stevenson’s cornucopian cafe and food store, set on a residential Carlton street corner, is a marvel of high-quality produce and home-cooked food. There, amid potted palms, festoon lights and plumes of pink, red and purple fabric flowers, are shelves, counters and fridges brimming with sweet and savoury goods selected and made by Stevenson. First, Stevenson’s handpicked Australian and imported products; gourmet sauces, artisan relishes, providore salt, French butter biscuits, Italian pasta, Vermont maple syrup, freeze-dried fruit and brown paper packages of fermented black garlic.
But this is a mere prologue to Stevies Little Shop’s greater beauties. Fridges and chilled cabinets of Stevenson’s preprepared food. It’s hard not to look like a tourist stumbling across a spectacular waterfall or a 16th-century Renaissance painting, such is the fine food range in this small corner shop.
