Borough Market

We've had a few weekends of being home, in London, and have been taking advantage of the lull in travel to eat well, catch up on errands and relax.

Last weekend, I went back for my second visit to Borough Market. It's a huge farmer's market in stalls - about a 20 minute tube ride away. There are tons of produce stalls, butchers, cheese makers, and pastry producers. Surrounding the market are lots of shops selling wine, coffee and a few great spots to grab lunch, (including a place that sells oysters that I'll have to save for my next visit.)

This visit was a banner one. Here is just a sampling of what I bought:


-dried cherries, mango and candied stem ginger, (for adding into porridge or oatmeal at breakfast)
-peaches
-figs
-fresh ricotta and goat's cheese
-fig and rosemary bread
-pies from the pieminister (great mid-week dinner with a simple green salad)
-lamb chops
-mint
-basil
-yellow, red and orange tomatoes
-small sweet potatoes
-red cabbage
-lemon
-eggplant
-red leaf lettuce and frisee
-yellow peppers
-fennel

Here are some pictures from our last visit in April. (Hence the gloves.)
