New Haven, Conn.(WTNH) – Edge of the Wood Market is known as of the largest vegetarian markets in Connecticut, and it’s right here in New Haven. CT Style Host Natasha Lubczenko recently met with some of the team behind the brand: Owner/President Peter Dodge, and CFO Justin Dodge, along with Head Cook Marquette Pivetta. The group came into the studio to talk about their 45-year history in New Haven and to demonstrate the recipe for a simple and popular dish, Ratatouille.
As Marquetta mixes chopped zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers, along with tomato paste and olive oil for this delicious hot meal, Peter and Justin talk about the market and how it all started.
