The Farmers' Market Cookbook

The Farmers' Market Cookbook

by NinaPlanck (Author)

Synopsis

Farmers' markets are springing up all over the UK. The basic idea - of local farmers selling their own produce - has been enthusiastically taken up by shoppers who value fresh, local produce at a reasonable price. Nina Planck, who has orchestrated the renaissance in London, is passionate about fresh, seasonal food. Her Farmers' Market Cookbook aims to remind those of us numbed by the supermarket shopping experience about what is available in each season, what to expect and look for at the market, and suggests simple, delicious recipes such as Pork Chops Stuffed with Apple and Horseradish and Raspberry Buttermilk Pancakes. With a foreword by Nigel Slater, this beautiful cookbook is destined to become a British classic.
