Walking around Borough Market

Welcome to Borough Market, London.

Busy, bustling, colourful! In the heart of London, this is the go to place for fresh, regional, and international organic produce.

Borough Market is one of the oldest and busiest markets in London, consisting of over 70 individual stalls, selling everything from Truffles to Coconut Pancakes and everything else in between.

Fresh mushrooms

Its a real pleasure to visit bustling markets like this, as quite frankly we just don’t have anything quite like this place, up north! Borough Market offers produce from specialty retailers and producers; you can pick up pretty much anything delicious; meats, wine, cheese, rare veg, fish, oysters,specialty sausages…. the list is almost endless.

Fresh game

The place offers visitors a visual and culinary adventure. Even if like me you can only carry a few items, or the return journey home means no perishable goods, there is certainly something in store for you here.

Fresh for picking

The perfect place to get some fresh paleo goodies; the offerings include extremely local produce, to items which are most exotic! I delighted in admiring the beautiful mushroom and truffle stall.

Sausages

Handmade Spanish style sausages, with a twist, produced with locally reared meats.

Fresh Fish anyone?!

Any arrange of sustainable sourced fish, dived not dredged. Perfect to buy the ingredients for my paleo fish pie!

Strongly recommend hitting Borough Market next time you’re in London.

Paleo Polly

Great tasting food has always been my passion. Obsessed with cookbooks from a young ages I have enjoyed exploring the world of food, recipe by recipe. 2004, aged 20, I was reading Law at University; money was tight, and meals were often made up of vegetables and starchy carbohydrates, washed down with ample alcoholic beverages of choice. Always made from scratch, taste championed calorie content; many delicious creamy pastas and carb-loaded rice and pitta dishes were consumed.Being in my early twenties, I was quite capable of getting away with my not exactly nutritious diet, however following Law School I noticed that I’d put on a few pounds. Being a food lover, I became extremely interested in the power of food; its nutritional value, its healing, health benefits. I read pages and pages of nutritional information; I followed fitness blogs, and read health cookbooks. I then made the decision to turn paleo; I really tightened up my diet and saw amazing result. Most importantly however, eating the right food made me feel great. For the first time, I did not feel bloated, I felt energized, health issues cleared up. My skin was the best ever, I slept well at night. The Paleo Diet involves eating mainly vegetables and protein, with small amounts of fruit, nuts and seeds. Eating Paleo is in essence eating the foods your body was designed to eat. The Paleo Diet mimics the diet that our hunter-gather ancestors ate; pre-agricultural revolution. My love of paleo, has brought me to my new found hobby; CrossFit and a combination of exercise and diet are an unbeatable solution. Paleo Polly is a blog dedicated to my journey. Although I am not a qualified nutritionist, my personal journey has enabled me to make great changes to my life and to my well-being. I would like to share my journey, and my life experiences and guide and assist anyone wanting to make a positive change.
