The Scottish Borders Food Journey
The second region-specific edition of The Larder series, The Scottish Border Food Journey, was published in June 2011. With specially commissioned articles written by leading food writers based in the Borders, it links together the region's food heritage with it thriving contemporary food scene. Offering a comprehensive guide to the food and drink of the region, it also includes coverage of farmers' markets, farm shops, good food shops and restaurants.
The guide is edited by Donald Reid and includes:
- The stories behind the people, products and landscapes that create the unique flavours of the Scottish Borders
- Local food and drink links and suggestions connected to footpaths, walks, cycleways and other trips around the region
- Features on key local food including lamb, cheese, salmon, shellfish and Borders bannocks, as well as innovative new artisan products such as salami, ice-cream, apple juice and sea buckthorn juice
- Listings supplied in conjunction with the Scottish Borders Local Food Network of over 50 restaurants, cafés, hotels, guest houses, shops and food producers located across the region
The The Scottish Borders Food Journey is distributed through the local tourism network, farmers' markets and other local events throughout the year.
