Eat London

London is a city brimful of culinary possibilities from great gastropubs to trendy bars, lively markets and chefs (Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, Jamie Oliver, Fergus Henderson) at the top of their game. 'Eat London' is not a restaurant guide it is a book all about food and the experience of food and the people who make, sell and care about it. From cafes to delis, the Indian food markets of East London to haute cuisine in Mayfair, food quality and originality is the main criterion alongside recognising good, interesting decor, comfortable furnishings, pleasant and interesting surroundings, a convivial ambiance, a sense of history or tradition, consistency and wonderful amusing personalities. Each section encompasses a specific area of London with maps and address listings and suggestions of itineries or fun things to do. All photographs are specially shot throughout and the text is full of anecdotes, stories, recipes and a sense of streetlife.
