Product Description

Product Description

London is a city brimful of culinary possibilities from great gastropubs to trendy bars, lively markets and chefs (Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, Jamie Oliver) at the top of their game. "Eat London" is not a restaurant guide - it is a book all about food and the people who make, sell, cook and care about it. From cafes to delis, the Indian food markets of East London to haute cuisine in Mayfair, food quality and originality is the main criterion alongside recognising good, interesting decor, comfortable furnishings, pleasant and interesting surroundings, a convivial ambiance, a sense of history or tradition, consistency and wonderful amusing personalities. Each chapter encompasses a specific area of London with full address listings for every entry and suggestions of itinaries or fun things to do. More than 60 recipes will appear throughout the book by some of Britain' s top chefs including Peter Gordon of Providores, Georgio Locatelli of Locanda Locatelli, John Torode of Smiths of Smithfield, Fergus Henderson of St. John, Rose Grey and Ruth Rogers of The River Cafe, Tom Conran of The Cow and Richard Corrigan of Lindsay House as well as recipes from some of the capital' s favourite restaurants such as Fifteen, Le Gavroche, Coq d' Argent, Moro, Bibendum, Gaucho Grill, and Racine amongst others. All photographs are specially shot throughout and the text is full of anecdotes, stories and a sense of London streetlife.

He is Chairman of Conran Holdings, the parent company of his retail and restaurant businesses and Chairman of Conran and Partners, his architecture and design practice.

He has been banqueting manager at Grosvenor House and Claridges, operations director for Anton Mossimann's UK restaurants, general manager of Bluebird Gastrodome and UK operations director of Conran restaurants. He is mad about food, drink and anything connected with cafs, bars, restaurants and food stores.

First Sentence
Fitzrovia and Marylebone probably have the highest concentration of blue plaques in London - earthenware-glazed discs affixed to the outside of all manner of buildings to mark the former residence of eminent individuals - and an equally high number of top-quality restaurants and food stores. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Foodie's Handbook to Discovering London, 13 Jul 2007
By R. Young (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a real find, it lists all the best places in London for food. Not just restaurants but markets, shops and cafes as well. The only downside is that now my list of places I want to go to is getting unmanageable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love London, Love Food, 17 Nov 2007
By Pink Gilbert (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
Buy this book! If you don't love either food or London, poor soul, then buy it for someone who does; you must be surrounded buy them. The cover opens into a map of London to plan your gastronomic tour. Market stalls, delis, front-room cafes and speciality restaurants are incorporated within this gem of a book. Informative text and photos cover a huge array of retailers all of whom are PASSIONATE about their products. It is a real page turner that will be dipped into for many years to come.

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit obnoxious, 16 May 2008
By Dean Wanless "Deanos" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was left dissapointed by this book which seems to assume that good food in London can only be found in affluent or trendy areas, and mostly in expensive delis or restaurants. I really felt that they missed a trick to really unearth the jems of London's food scene but opted instead for the obvious. For example, coverage for South East London is woeful, despite it being home to any number of excellent pan-asian and caribean shops and restaurants, as well as some of the best British food from great roasts, to fish and chips and pie and mash. You can only assume that the researchers didn't like the idea of Jerk Chicken in Catford. The cynic in me would also like to know how many of the establishments listed are somehow a part of the Conran empire. All in all, a bit poor, very elitist and not at all indicative of the best that London has to offer the adventurous foodie.

It gets two stars for being well produced.
