Artisan food, urban peasants

Artisan food and urban 'peasants': is this more than just a foodie fad? | Life and style | theguardian.com: "In her new book The Modern Peasant: Adventures in City Food, Jojo Tulloh invites readers to look deeper.

So, in London, we get artisan bakeries under Hackney railway arches, Rastafarian beekeepers in Wanstead and soya producers trading just off Brick Lane."
