London Borough Market
Today I was invited to a wonderful and ultimate experience by Walid of TrustedPlaces: a complete tasting tour of London Borough Market guided by the charming Celia Brooks Brown.
I was very and really pleased by many many thing of this two hours tour!
First of all the group Walid was able to gather together: there were prominent English Food Bloggers and food journalist, and all very passionate about food!
I was overwhelmed not only by the company, but by the market too. Besides being the oldest London food market, it was a very beautiful market, very "European"! Dating back to 2000, the food market scene was very sad and almost inexistent. Just in that years England became much more aware of organic food and that lead towards a growing interested about everything was ending in English belly: the so called "English renaissance". And all this trend has grown every years since, and it is still growing!
And more awarnes about food, means a bigger interested in different food cultures, like Italian.
Right now Italian food is very hot in London: today, while I was strolling around South Kensington during lunch hour I saw Carluccio’s, one of the best known Italian restaurant in London, and it was completely packed!
Will San Lorenzo follow the lead of the growing interest in our culture and food?
That’s a given!!!
And stay tuned for the up coming events we are planning in London! It will be an exciting Fall!!!
