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 titbits such as quotes from a range of shoppers and producers: from Terence 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.
