The Covent Garden Real Food Market, London?s favourite stop for fresh produce and lunch time treats, will host a series of guest stalls from some of London?s best food
bloggers throughout August and September ? giving Londoners yet another reason to visit their favourite foodie destination.
Every Thursday from 11th August ? 1st September, a hand-picked selection of London?s foodie bloggers will be serving up their home-made dishes and sharing top tips
from the Piazza, providing fans with a unique opportunity to meet the writer and sample some of the authors? creations.
Participating food bloggers include:
Thursday 11th August: Naomi Knill, from The Ginger Gourmand [1], a collection of her own recipes, and Eats Dulwich [2], an A to Z guide to eating in and around her
home turf of East Dulwich, will be sharing her love of baking with Covent Garden shoppers, selling savoury tartlets & sumptuous home baked cakes. All profits from the
stall will be donated to the East Africa Appeal
Thursday 18th August: Chris Dreyfus, a thirty-something food fanatic Londoner of Silver & Claret [3], will be selling a selection of homemade quiches (lorraine, leek and
stilton, courgette and goat's cheese) and delicious cakes and treats (chocolate brownies, chocolate and salted caramel tart, raspberry bakewells, lemon curd muffins).
Everything will be priced at £2.50 and all profits will be donated to charity
Thursday 25th August and Thursday 1st September: Rebecca Litchfield of At Number 98 [4] will be selling a range of home-made marmalades, chutneys and jams.
Rebecca started her first food blog, From a North London Kitchen [5] in 2008, and moved to At Number 98 in 2010. She dreams of building a jam empire from a farm
shop on a small holding, but for now she?s living in London blogging about her passion for all things food
Thursday 8th September: As a British Bengali food writer who has spent a time living in Japan, Rejina Sabur of Gastro Geek [6] has a particular passion for dishes with
an "Asian" twist. Rejina will be selling crab and pea samosas, Indian sausage rolls, spicy fish cakes, lamb curry with smoked aubergine salsa and vegetable biryani,
spiced roast pumpkin salad with beet leaf and home-made paneer, coconut and cardamom cheesecake with dark ginger chocolate cherries
Chris Dreyfus, Silver and Claret said:
?I?m a professional consumer. Serious about food and hospitality and passionate about high standards in terms of product quality and customer service, so I love Covent
Garden?s Real Food Market for bringing artisan foods to locals in the neighbourhood.?
The food bloggers will be joining established traders including Crumbs & Doilies, The Dessert Deli and The Polish Bakery.
Now in its fifth year, The Covent Garden Real Food Market, run by former Borough Market Manager Chris Denning, is raising the bar for fresh produce markets in the
West End. With a focus on supplying Londoners with food from artisanal traders across the UK, the market provides affordable meat, vegetables and other staples making
it a valuable resource for those who live, work and love the area.
The award-winning district recently received the accolade of ?London?s Best Gastronomic Experience? as voted by the Visit London People?s Choice Award.
