London for Foodies, Gourmets & Gluttons is much more than just
a directory of cafes, markets, restaurants and shops; it features
many of the city's best artisan producers and traders, plus a
wealth of classes where you can learn how to prepare and cook food
like the experts, appreciate fine wines and brew coffee like a
barista. And when you're too tired to cook or just want to treat
yourself, we'll show you great places where you can enjoy
everything from tea and cake to a tasty street snack; a pie and a
pint to a glass of wine and tapas; a quick working lunch to a
full-blown gastronomic extravaganza. Researching London for
Foodies, Gourmets & Gluttons has been a voyage of discovery, a
culinary adventure and a sheer pleasure. In seeking out the city's
best artisan producers and purveyors we have left no stone
unturned. Our epicurean journey has taken us to trendy cafes, cosy
tearooms and amazing street food vendors; stunning food halls and
bustling markets; innovative restaurants and atmospheric
gastropubs; the very best wine, beer and spirit merchants; and
fascinating classes that teach every foodie skill from butchering a
pig to tempering chocolate and enjoying fine wine. Like most
Londoners, we knew that the quality and variety of food and drink
on offer in the capital had improved beyond all recognition in
recent decades, but we were still amazed at just how much the
city's gastronomic landscape had changed. The days are long gone
since London's culinary scene - and British food in general - was
the subject of international contempt and ridicule. The city has
seen a foodie revolution in the last 20 years and now offers a
choice and quality of food that's the equal of any city in the
world, including ingredients from almost every country on the
planet, from asafoetida to za'atar. In London, the world really is
your oyster - it's also your bagel, bammy, chaat, dim sum,
enchilada, falafel, injera, kimchi, lahmacun, pierogi, raclette,
ravioli, satay or tapa! All have been introduced by immigrants and
eagerly devoured by a grateful population eager for gastronomic
adventure. Just as much as its inventive chefs and Michelin-starred
restaurants, it's London's incredible ethnic diversity that makes
it such an exciting place to eat (and cook and shop). So whether
you want to revitalise your jaded palate, increase your culinary
repertoire, expand your foodie knowledge or experience the ultimate
in fine dining - or maybe you're just hungry - you're bound to find
inspiration in London for Foodies, Gourmets & Gluttons.
