Borough Market - Market Life comes home for Christmas

 

Market Life comes home for Christmas   Our much-loved Market Life magazine is back with a pre-Christmas special. And, if you’ll forgive the painful Christmas punning, it’s a real cracker. Among the many gifts found within, Angela Clutton answers our questions and shares some features and recipes from Borough Market: The Knowledge. Ed Smith offers his guide to cooking the perfect Christmas dinner. Clare Finney visits the West Country home of Capreolus, makers of exceptional English charcuterie. And Kathy Slack explains why the quince is both devilishly uncooperative and divinely tasty. The magazine is available to pick up in the Market or read online via the link below.   Read now Borough Talks: How to write a cookbook Creating a complex cookbook like Borough Market: The Knowledge is an epic undertaking, requiring lots of people with diverse skills.
