Nammet: A Celebration of Isle of Wight Food and Drink

The Isle of Wight is nationally acclaimed as a producer of quality food and drink, known to locals as Nammet. Varied produce with an island provenance now finds its way to restaurants, food markets, delicatessens, and shops all over the UK, driven by a passion for quality and taste. Nammet is a celebration of the very best food and drink that originates from the beautiful, warm, and sun-blessed shores and waters of the Isle of Wight.This book vividly reveals the fascinating backgrounds of the dedicated and often eccentric Islanders behind the delectable produce. It has been produced for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice, a vital Isle of Wight charity that raises funds through events such as Walk the Wight, which attracts over 10,000 participants each year.The book is a perfect keepsake for Islanders, visitors, and armchair travellers with taste. From an Island already famed for its scenery, Queen Victoria, Lord Tennyson, music festivals, dinosaurs, hovercraft, sailing, and its very own curious dialect, here is a feast of brocks (traditional dishes), including dewbit, jipper, and harlens. Put on yer yepper and get ready to enjoy the finest island Nammet!Table of ContentsFOREWORD by Nigel Hartley; INTRODUCTION by Peter Harrigan; CHAPTER ONE: South-East; Angus Baird - Godshill Park Farm; Chris Kidd - Ventnor Botanic Garden ; Jim Wheeler - Fisherman; Maria Hakansson - Butter Vikings; Paul Metcalf - Natural Wight Mushrooms; Stuart Pierce - Godshill Cherries; Sue Brownrigg - Brownrigg's Poultry; Will Steward - Living Larder; CHAPTER TWO: North-East; Fabian Game - Isle of Wight Distillery; Helen McGuire - The Borneo Pantry; Matthew Noyce - Quarr Abbey; Paul Griffin - Briddlesford Lodge; Richard Hodgson - Isle of Wight Cheese Co; Ron Holland - Kemphill Farm; Ruth Curtis - Captain Stan's; CHAPTER THREE: Central; Ben Brown - A E Brown Farms; Caroline Knox - Oil of Wight; Colin Boswell - The Garlic Farm; Fiona Pink - PINK'S; Gillian Belben - Beekeeper; Gioia Minghella - Minghella Ice Cream; John Fahy - The Island Bakery; Paul Thomas - The Tomato Stall; Krista Denton - Made by Krista; Tracey Sangster - Wight Crystal; CHAPTER FOUR: West; Abraham Seaforth - Ocean Creed; Amy Lloyd - Splendid Brittle; Chris Coleman - Island Ales; Jackie Carder - Mottistone Farm; Mary Case - Mary Case Honey; Michelle Stevens - The Green Barn; Neal Smith - Calbourne Water Mill Read more
