Product Description
Product Description
Alongside her own recipes, food-writer Jenny Linford has collected more from other food-loving Londoners. Dishes reflect the cosmopolitan diversity of London life, ranging from a zingy Gujurati Coriander Chutney or tasty Japanese Pork with Miso to dainty Rose Fairy Cakes or an indulgent Bread and Butter Pudding. Traditional dishes, such as Beef and Ale Stew with Herbed Dumplings or Syllabub Trifle, sit alongside personal recipes, such as Teresa's Quince and Apple Pie or Polly's Roast Lamb with Tapenade. Recipe contributors include Borough Market stall-holders, delicatessen owners, restaurateurs, food producers, and people living in the capital who love cooking for their family and friends. With the recipes come Londoners' stories, ranging from reminiscences by butchers, fishmongers, and sausage-makers to personal food memories. Read about such distinctive London eating places as the eel and pie shop, the curry house, and the fish and chip shop. Discover London's food history including the city's markets and the tea and coffee trade--and enjoy an evocative taste of London.

A real antidote to the too-slick Nigella/Gordon coffee table food-porn sort of book, which I imagine people buy to look at but rarely actually cook from. This is inspired by the power food has to bring people together, especially people from diverse cultures and the book captures this beautifully, with photos that feel real and capture the imperfections of real cooking.
It has a homely quality to it and incorporates nice stories by those who've contributed recipes. It's clearly intended as a book meant to end up with food stains and finger marks on the pages. Lovely

This book is as much about the diversity and history of people who live and work in London as it is cookery. I love the warm feeling I get from reading it. I've also found some amazing recipes and would highly recommend it if you want something that's more than a cookery book.
