It exceeds all expectations - informative, educational, succinct and useful, it is a very handy guide for all food shoppers and cooks. Everything you ever wanted to know about groceries - but never dared to ask - is contained within its bright and fresh covers...This is a richly researched book - from the history of chocolate to sustainable fishing, identifying apple varieties, cooking with unusual herbs, buying ethically reared meat, storing oils and sourcing herbal teas, every aspect of the intelligent food shopping basket is considered.
With everything from delicious, simple seasonal recipes and a lesson in bread making to a coffee 101 and a guide to creating the perfect cheeseboard, it seems we'll have more excuses than ever to stock up on their fab foodstuffs.
A beautiful grocer's guide, it deconstructs the contents of an average kitchen cupboard and details how to cook sesasonal food.
An indispensable guide from a very modern grocer.
This diminutive tome covers pretty much everything you need to know in culinary terms... What's so special? The sheer breadth and depth of incredibly useful information on display in eye-catching red print - as pretty as a gingham tablecloth.
Somewhere between a culinary glossary, a seasonal miscellany and a how-to cookbook, this is one dinky kitchen companion, courtesy of the Primrose Hill greengrocers. Its diminutive size and pleasing red print on white paper - as pretty as a crisp gingham napkin - make it eminently easy to use, and use it you will.
More than a cookbook, this feels like a smart, useful culinary guide from the wonderful gourmet grocers, Nick Selby and Ian James of Melrose And Morgan. There's lots of good stuff about about what to store in your kitchen, when to buy seasonally (their big thing!), stocking your larder and how to get the best out of your ingredients. As well as easy and delicious recipes, there are clever touches, such as lovely ideas for making cheap, but effective, foodie gifts, such as herb-infused oils, sea-salted caramel honeycomb or preserved lemons.
The tome offers a wealth of information on varieties, origins, brewing methods and storage.
Fans of the cult grocer Melrose and Morgan will be pleased to see this culinary compendium hit the shelves.

How can you spot the best beef? Are there sure-fire short cuts to liven up boiled spuds? Where should eggs be stored? In their new book, the founders of Melrose and Morgan answer these nagging questions and many more...

It's absolutely rammed with sage advice on buying, storing and cooking food, along with guides to more ambitious athome projects, such as DIY yoghurt and butter-making.
