The Wandering Palate – Produce book of the Year (Meat, Poultry, Game) Ginger Pig – Meat Book Tim Wilson & Fran Warde
The Borough Market in London is one of my favourite food foraging spots on this planet and also home to the Ginger Pig Butchery – a real butcher.

Excellent Dining at Singapore’s Changi Airport
Yes, I know it is rare that you hear a food writer recommending you go out of your way to dine at an airport, but Singapore’s Changi Airport is in a league of its own. First impressions can be indelible and international airports often reflect a countries mannerisms and a good indication of what to expect locally.
