Time for foodservice to #FlipTheMenu, Serve More Veg and Better Meat

It's amazing what a small shift in behaviour can do. If we all went meat free for just one day a week it would reduce global carbon emissions by 2%.

Food for thought: What makes a ’good' restaurant?

Britain has undergone a food revolution. Where once we were Europe's poor relation, now we are a world leader. We boast more varieties of cheese than France and barely a day passes without reports of a new food trend or fad. The quality and variety of food available in supermarkets, farmers' markets and artisan shops across the country has never been greater.
