I want to talk about food wastage. The figures on how much food we waste here in the UK are quite frankly disgusting. An article published by the Guardian in January quoted $13 billion worth of food is binned here each year and of that, an estimated 4.4million tonnes of it was avoidable…

You’ll find hawker centres all over Malaysia, some of them well organised – undercover with seating, toilets and bins. Some of them less so, a collection of stalls at one end of a busy road. In Penang, New Lane hawker centre is well known. It appears on most tourist websites…

Wapping Wharf, Bristol’s newest hot spot for food and drink, popped up while we were away. It was the first place I wanted to visit on our return and I love what’s going on in all the container units there. I’d been meaning to eat at Boxe, a 14 seater restaurant…

I’ve written previously about how I’m trying to make the move to Organic with my food shopping. So far it’s going well with all of my staples like milk, eggs and veggies organic. I’m also buying organic meat as often as I can. Small steps in the right direction. This…
