  Arranged by area, this is a collection of recipes from around London, and includes interviews with specialist food importers, owners of obscure cafes and restaurants, and food-lovers generally. The book lists addresses, contacts, and places to go for authentic ingredients. It looks at the diverse characters of London, and at food in conjunction with the regional cultural influences, discussing why, for example, the Edgware Road has so many Middle Eastern restaurants. Buyers from Fortnum's, Billingsgate and Harrods discuss best buys and give historical recipes alongside their new discoveries.
