Notes on Writing and Using Recipes from Brixton Village

Brixton Village has become somewhere very special in the past few years and it seemed the right time to write a book capturing that essence, whether you shop and eat there all the time, have only heard about it or want to know more before you visit.

I hope that the book helps you get a full sense of the market, from the building itself to the traders and customers to the food and produce it sells. With any luck, you will feel like you know Brixton Village as well as I do by the time you’ve finished reading and cooking your favourite recipes from it. I’ve been shopping in the Village for the last five years or so and I’ve watched it change in many ways. However, the friendly welcome you receive shopping or eating there always remains the same.
