Henrietta Green's Food Lovers' Guide to Britain

Although supermarkets stock a wide range of products, those in search of the highest-quality food will usually do better to buy from farms, markets and retailers in rural areas. This book covers over 350 speciality retailers in England, Scotland and Wales who supply produce such as goat's cheese, traditional fruit-cakes and chocolates, old-fashioned sausages and home-cured bacon. Stars indicate the best producer within each class (best cheese producer, best bakery, best organic producer, etc), and each entry describes the range of products available and gives directions, map reference, opening hours, and credit-card and mail-order details. The book is arranged by county and the establishments are shown on regional maps. There are two indexes - one listing mail-order suppliers and the other listing retailers under type of produce. Henrietta Green's "British Food Finds" won the Andre Simon Award for Best Book on Food and Related Subjects.
