Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Well known as a champion of the small, local food producer, Henrietta Green describes her excitement as she attended the very first farmers' market at Bath in 1998. "No-one could have resisted", she writes in the introduction to Farmers' Market Cookbook: "the choice was vast, the quality unquestionable; everything seemed glisteningly fresh, brimming over with robust, proffering a traceable pedigree and sold by vigorously committed stall holders". Since that epoch-making day, the movement has proliferated to the point where there are now apparently over 250 such markets. Size and success bring their own dangers, of course, among them the possibility that the purity and pleasure of the original direct contact between (local) supplier and consumer may be compromised, not to speak of the quality of the produce. Protecting the farmer and the shopper is part of the broader agenda of this book. As well as being an excellent collection of seasonal recipes, it incorporates much information about the working lives of direct-selling farmers, most of whom have seen their profits and satisfaction increase, and a strongly argued case for the intelligent regulation of the market system. But the whole point of farmers' markets is the quality of the food and Henrietta Green provides excellent ideas for what to do with it when you get it home, be it honey, game, beef, vegetables, bread or cheese. She gives a fine recipe for roast loin of veal, for example--how wonderful to think that one can eat veal now with a clear conscience. A wild mushroom and garlic pizza is another eye-catcher, as is lamb shanks with port. Although the recipes are seasonal, most are provided with modifications to fit different parts of the year. All very expert, appetising and inspirational; and likely to make you feel a better person. As Henrietta Green says, farmers' markets may not save the planet, but they make it a better place to live. --Robin Davidson

Product Description
Farmer's markets are interactive, hip and healthy - they are about lifestyle and people and, above all, about food. This book covers all aspects of this new and exciting trend: the principles of the markets, where to find them, the benefits of shopping at a farmer's market rather than a supermarket, what and when to buy, and over 70 recipes to show you how to make the most of the produce you buy. Organized into the four seasons, each chapter is filled with mouth-watering and seasonal recipes, grower and farmer profiles and other interesting tidbits such as quotes from a range of shoppers and producers: from Terance Conran to Joe Bloggs. Also featured is a harvest calendar to show what produce is in season when, and a comprehensive listing of all markets in the UK, setting out to make this "the" farmer's market resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a corker of a book is this!, 28 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Elegantly designed with luscious vivid photographs (by Jason Lowe) and with a text bubbling over with wit and enthusiasm, the whole thing is awfully good and terribly 'Now'.

The recipes are divided by season (with other-season variations within each section), and how straightforwardly delicious they all sound. I can't wait to try Watercress and red onion salsa, or Lamb Shanks with Port, or how about Summer Pea and mint risotto?

Henrietta Green interviews the farmers and producers, and what a treasure trove of personalities emerges all fired by their dedication to their produce. Living in France as I do a lot of the time I am used to this reverence for the best ingredients, but how refreshing to find it happening in Britain, particularly as farmers now need all the support we can give...
