Review
This book is a beautiful celebration of a way of shopping and eating that proves there's an alternative to the supermarket. Contributions from Borough market stallholders such as Randolph Hodgson of Neal's Yard Dairy and the chefs who shop there, including John Torode, Rose Gray and Antonio Carluccio, it captures the personalities and the produce that make Borough the unique place that it is. --Olive Magazine
Product Description
This book reveals the rich fabric of the Borough Market from dusk to dawn. Divulging the geographic origins of the produce on offer and showing how it gets from its source to the stalls. The main section of the book focuses on the produce itself, and directs consumers to the right traders for their particular requirements. Providing guidelines for consumers to help them make informed purchases on market day. What questions should they ask, who should they approach in order to make informed decisions about the food in their basket? Stallholders share tips on how to make the most of their fare - from full recipes to simple ideas on enjoying the produce straight. And celebrated chefs and foodies tell us what they buy from Borough, and why.
