The Borough Market Book: From Roots to Renaissance

by Henrietta Green and Ptolemy Dean

Revealing the rich fabric of the Borough Market from dusk to dawn, this comprehensive guide divulges the geographic origins of the produce on offer and illustrates how it gets from its source to the stalls--focusing on the produce itself and directing consumers to the right traders for their particular requirements. Providing guidelines for consumers to help them make informed purchases on market day, this handy manual covers what questions to ask, and who should be approached 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.
