In the market for memories

The book will feature recipes from traders and shoppers, as well as well-known local chefs and celebrities. The recipes will be interspersed with photographs, poems, stories and useful tips.

The cookbook is being produced by the newly formed Friends of St George’s Market as part of their Heritage Lottery Fund-supported ‘Market Memories’ project, which explores the role the market has played in the history of Belfast.

The project will culminate with a special weekend of activities, including historic re-enactments, drama, storytelling and recreations of historic skills, at the end of June.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the cookbook, or share their memories and stories, can do so by contacting the Market office on Tel: 028 9043 5704, or emailing: [email protected]
