A new book entitled ‘The Isle of Wight Feast of Food and Drink’ is to be launched in the coming week, celebrating the wealth of artisan food and drink produced on the Isle of Wight.
This culinary odyssey is developed through 9 scenarios that reflect the Island’s pleasurable, healthy lifestyle and offer a flavour of the changing seasons. Each comprises a menu of dishes for the occasion, with easily accomplished and imaginative recipes that make the most of the Island’s wonderful produce. There are always vegetarian alternatives and dairy – and gluten-free and vegan variations.
Key local products and producers are highlighted in the book, with information panels showcasing Wight foodie gems, from freshly plucked perfumed apricots and award-winning small-batch roasted coffees to perfect craft beers for summer supping. The end section features seasonal charts of produce, while a comprehensive directory of products, producers and retailers gives full details of farm and produce shops, farmers’ markets and other retail outlets, including online suppliers, with an index of Island food and drink. There is also a guide to events for food-lovers.
The Isle of Wight Feast of Food and Drink has been written by noted food author and editor Jo Richardson and illustrated by Island photographer Ben Wood.
The book, which features over 90 recipes, will be available on the Isle of Wight from Monday 24th April and can be purchased at https://www.iowfeastoffood.co.uk/purchase-book/.
