Great British Food Magazine May 2019 Back Issue

British food has come such a long way in the last decade; when GBF first launched in 2008 our homegrown produce was only just starting to get the kudos it deserved. But fast forward over a decade later, who could have predicted we'd be producing everything from world-class sparkling wines (see our top tipples for spring) to some truly stunning charcuterie? The world of British salami and chorizo is a particularly inspiring tale – skilful producers are taking inspiration from abroad, but putting their unique spin on recipes with foraged ingredients and rare breed meats. Discover more about our favourite charcuterie pioneers in this issue. Did you know that each year, more oversees tourists flock to Borough Market than visit the whole of Wales? London's iconic food hub is arguably the spiritual home of the British food renaissance – its progressive policies on food waste and packaging (no single-use plastics allowed) regulate the cacophony of colour, sound, aroma and taste, bringing ethics and commerce together in unexpected harmony. Check out Anna Blewett's eye-opening behind-the-scenes tour of this very special market. This issue also sees the exciting launch of our Great British Food Awards 2019! We've got over £7,000 of prizes to give away, including luxury gourmet getaways, amazing kitchen kit and loads more. To be in with a chance of winning, simply vote for your foodie favourites on p.87 or online at greatbritishfoodmagazine.com/awards. Have a delicious month!
