Borough Market, London’s world-class food market, is launching a series of new Autumn/Winter events, starting on Thursday 15th October with a live cookalong from internationally renowned chef, restaurateur and cookbook author, Yotam Ottolenghi. The cookalong will be streamed live on Borough Market’s Facebook page from 6.30 – 7.15pm.
Ixta Belfrage, co-author of recently published Flavour, will join Yotam for the cookalong, hosted by award-winning food writer and founder of the Borough Market Cookbook Club, Angela Clutton. Yotam and Ixta will be chatting to Angela and walking participants through an exclusive recipe from Flavour, broadcast live from the Ottolenghi test-kitchen in Camden, North London.
Registration is free, via https://bit.ly/2G1l3kq and participants will receive the recipe for the chefs’ ‘Coconut and Turmeric Omelette Feast’ ahead of time so that they can shop for their ingredients and join in to make the dish at home. There will also be time for people to ask questions at the end of the live session.
Borough Cooks Live follows the successful move of many of Borough Market’s events to digital platforms due to Covid-19 restrictions, and the expansion of Borough Market Online, where London-based customers can order directly from the Market and have food and drink delivered to their homes by zero emission electric bike or hybrid vehicle.
Kate Howell, Development Director, Borough Market said: “We’re thrilled that Yotam is kicking off our new season of exciting events. We can’t host our much-loved live demo kitchens in Borough Market at the moment, but we want to continue to inspire people to use our fantastic fresh produce to cook up delicious dishes at home. Food really builds connections between us, and sharing these live experiences can help us feel part of the community, which is more important now than ever before. Yotam’s recipe uses lots of fresh veg and herbs – along with eggs of course – all of which are readily available from our expert traders who are always happy to help customers choose the best of the season’s crop.”
Borough Market remains open for business from Monday to Saturday, with social distancing measures in place. The Market continues to sell fresh produce and store cupboard ingredients. The produce Market now extends in the ‘Green Market’ area and the Borough Market Kitchen traders are open for hot and cold takeaway food, with some offering al fresco dining experiences in the evening.
