The Borough Market Guide to Spring Vegetables

Recommended Posts

For anyone who doesn't know, Borough Market is London's prime 'foodie*' destination. The market dates back to at least the 12th century. Despite being overwhelmed by tourists and egotistical morons making YouTube videos and mispronouncing 'borough', it does still have amazing food.

 

They have published a guide to spring vegetables, which is available to view or to download in PDF format, free of charge. Here. Click on the download symbol in the top left corner of the screen. Information and some very attractive recipes.

Thanks. I was amused upon reading about cooking asparagus how we used to have a pan especially made for that purpose. it was designed to keep the asparagus upright. My pan now does a fine job of holding spare rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom out of reach of playful pets.

Yeah, I had one of those pans, too. The idea was that the stems would boil, while the tips would steam. Never quite worked like that, though. No idea what happened to it. Thankfully I found better ways to cook sparrow juice!
