The Isle of Wight is nationally acclaimed as a producer of quality food
and drink - known as Nammet to locals. Varied produce with an island
provenance now finds its way to restaurants, food markets, delicatessens
and shops all over the UK, all with a passion for quality and taste.
Nammet is a celebration of the very best food and drink that originate
from the beautiful, warm and sunblessed shores and waters of the Isle of
Wight. The book also profiles the skilled and dedicated local producers
that bring the Island's delights to us. A team of talented Isle of
Wight-based food writers as well as acclaimed photographers including
Julian Winslow present producers with Island cheeses, honey, gin, meat,
fish, veg, bakery. They also vividly reveal the fascinating background
to the dedicated and often eccentric Islanders behind the delectable
produce.
The book is produced for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice. This vital Isle
of Wight charity raises funds through events such as Walk the Wight
which every year attracts over 10,000 participants. The book is a
perfect keepsake for Islanders, visitors and armchair travelers with
taste. From the 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 including dewbit,
jipper and harlens. Put on yer yepper and get ready to get the finest
island Nammet. Enjoy.
