Farmers' markets are springing up all over the UK. The basic idea - of local farmers selling their own produce - has been enthusiastically taken up by shoppers who value fresh, local produce at a reasonable price. Nina Planck, who has orchestrated the renaissance in London, is passionate about fresh, seasonal food. Her Farmers' Market Cookbook aims to remind those of us numbed by the supermarket shopping experience about what is available in each season, what to expect and look for at the market, and suggests simple, delicious recipes such as Pork Chops Stuffed with Apple and Horseradish and Raspberry Buttermilk Pancakes. With a foreword by Nigel Slater, this beautiful cookbook is destined to become a British classic.

Market Farm is a Swiftian satire on the untrammelled free market thinking that helped usher in the current financial crisis. In its concept, it pays homage to George Orwell’s Animal Farm and engages the reader in an amusing way with the causes and likely outcomes of the crisis we are all facing. The story follows the fortunes of three characters: Erroll, a bull who is an eternal optimist; Merlin, a donkey who is a down- to-earth pessimist; and Lily, a chicken who is largely timid and confused. While focusing on the damage wrought by the financial crisis, Market Farm examines its deeper causes and takes passing swipes at other problems of modern life. These include the cult of fine food, the rise of the welfare state, pollution, obesity, social disorder, the domination of the political process by the media, and even the rise of the internet and phenomena such as Twitter. Market Farm is a funny and clever depiction of economic life which raises the key social and moral questions as to whether the market should be the master, or the servant, of the people.’ Russell Napier, author of “Anatomy of the Bear: Lessons from Wall Street's Four Great Bottoms” . 'Updating the seminal work of George Orwell is brave. And he pulls it off. Market Farm should be a set text for all students of politics and economics.' Scarlett MccGwire in Tribune 'Many authors put small ideas into large books, Nicholas Bradbury did just the opposite: he put a great idea into a small book. His story is witty, masterful, deeply penetrating and wise. ' Almantas Samalavicius in Kulturos Barai
