THE MOONLIGHT MARKET is a mesmerizing tale of love and conflict, as a young photographer named Tom Argent uncovers a hidden world within London’s streets where two fantastical factions battle over a lost love.

‘Toast,’ said Tom Argent longingly, realizing how long it had been since he’d had anything to eat. ‘What I’d give for a piece of toast, with smashed avocado and chili and lime. Or hot buttered crumpets, with strawberry jam . . .’

“Food and fiction in fairytales have long since been co-conspirators. Food brings us together; it helps us understand our world. It helps us understand other worlds, too, through culture and tradition. Most of all, as readers, it gives a context for what we read, and the preparation of food provides a sociable, safe space through which to expand the experience. Food provides a connection between even the most distant of worlds; I hope you’ll try these simple dishes and drinks from The Moonlight Market. They’re recipes anyone can make, and of course, meant for sharing; just as stories are meant for sharing and enjoying. Take from them what you need, and welcome to the world of The Moonlight Market. ” -Joanne Harris
