Allotment Soup
In summer 2011, Table Table launched a competition across the UK to find the best local recipes, forgotten classics and family favourites from the public, to be captured in a limited edition cookbook celebrating all that is great about British cooking.
They received hundreds of fantastic entries from all across the UK and have enjoyed trying them all and hope you do too! What’s more, all proceeds from the sale of the cookbook will be going to the international charity WaterAid and the invaluable work they do.
You can pick up a copy at your local Table Table restaurant from December. Just go to www.tabletable.co.uk to find the restaurant nearest to you.
