From the Slow Food Campaign to Rick Stein’s food heroes, chefs, food writers and environmentalists increasingly equate ‘real’ food with local food – but where do you buy it, and what should you buy? In this must-have sourcebook, Graham Harvey explains how the plants we eat should be full of health-giving minerals drawn from a fertile soil. Yet today’s agriculture has impoverished the soil, while the quality of much modern industrially packaged food is lacking in both taste and nutritional value. But real food is available if you know where to look, and this fully revised and updated edition includes a brand new Local Food Directory listing farmer’s markets, farm gate suppliers and farm shops across the UK, as well as advice on labelling, what to avoid and how to ensure you buy the best possible food for your family. 448pp, 128mm x 197mm, softback, 2008
