Vegetable Bags from Leila’s Shop
October 5, 2013
When Contributing Photographer Patricia Niven subscribed to the weekly £10 bag of vegetables from Leila’s Shop in Calvert Ave, she had not counted upon the photographic inspiration that the contents would deliver. Leila McAlister goes to Covent Garden each Monday night to choose the best seasonal produce she can find and these bags comprise London’s freshest vegetables. Yet for the lucky recipients they provide not just nutritious fare but a changing calendar of the seasons of the year and a weekly reminder of the life of the fields.

Yummy – I am sitting here with my morning coffee, and dreaming about what I could make out of all those veggies! Valerie
Oh yes, I’m hungry just looking at them!
These are super lovely
How VERY pretty! Splendid photographic fare. Images would look lovely on ceramic tiles.
Oh yes! Of course my veggie bags aren’t from Leila, but they’re such a pleasure to have and really encourage creativity in the kitchen. I looked longingly at the rhubarb though – it doesn’t grow well here in southern France
happened upon your website and loving it!
