FOOD TRIBE IS BACK!

Like many of us, I\\u2019ve become a lot more interested in the connection to our food, where it comes from, how it\\u2019s grown, the impact our decisions have on our food system and what that means for our environment.\\xa0

So, this season I\\u2019ve decided to expand the guest list to include some farmers and producers and chefs leading the way when it comes to growing, producing and cooking in a sustainable way.\\xa0

This episode I\\u2019m chatting to Tom Hunt - a chef, a food writer, co-owner of Poco restaurant in Bristol, a cookbook author, sustainability consultant and a climate change activist.

Tom\\u2019s mission is to connect us to the true value of our food and where it comes from, and to teach a way of eating that prioritises the environment without sacrificing pleasure, and flavour. To do this he\\u2019s developed an approach of "Root to Fruit" eating which is a guide on how we can all support a better, fairer food system by the way we shop, cook and eat.\\xa0

Tom has just published his second book Eating for Pleasure, People and Planet, which is really a culmination of his work in this space. So much more than a recipe book, it\\u2019s a modern guide on how to cook, shop and eat in today\\u2019s world.\\xa0It\\u2019s a celebration of food, how it\\u2019s grown, the farmers who grow it, and how we can all make small changes to eat in way that\\u2019s good for us, that\\u2019s good for our environment and that\\u2019s ultimately delicious.\\xa0

I headed over to Tom\\u2019s for coffee and a chat. We talk about his new book, his whole approach to food, and his background and why he became a chef on a mission...\\xa0
