Great British Grub
Rick Stein Food Heroes
"These are people who have no truck with the concepts of standardization
and mass production, who take pride in their lack of uniformity. They produce
meat from breeds of animal you may never have heard of. They produce tomatoes
with names that you’ll never see on the shelves of a supermarket. And
they do it slowly, with an old-fashioned respect for seasons, the land, and for
taste. They work with passion and commitment, and if the end product costs a
little more, they make no apology - they are offering the best, not the
cheapest."
An excellent resource of producers and farmers
markets.
