R E A L T A L K 📺 Proud to be back on the box for @cop26uk on @saturdayjamesmartin talking about how we need to adapt our diets to help mitigate climate breakdown. My aim was to cook a carbon negative dish that draws down carbon and locks it into the Earth by cooking with ingredients and producers that work in reciprocity with Mother Earth. The programme will air on the 6th November! Pop it in the diary. 😃 I’m so stoked to have been able to introduce James Martin’s audience to @chefsmanifesto and friends and producers @newdawntraders @hodmedodsuk @realfoodgarden @bellowfinefoods @cornishseaweed // Thanks @Jamesmartinchef

Some forms of cooking (like oven baking) are more energy intensive than others like frying. 60% or more of the emissions produced by a dish can come from the cooking process.

F I N - T O - S C A L E // We commonly waste up to

F I N - T O - S C A L E // We commonly waste up to 70% of a fish, but the fillets aren’t the only bits that are both edible and delicious. Controversial as it is, I’ve wanted to share this image with you for a long time. Root to fruit eating is inspired by nose to tail eating. Practicing the complete consumption of animals (including fish) is even more important than fruit and vegetables due to the resources that went into producing that food. Not to mention the fact that when we eat meat we have chosen to take the life of that animal to sustain us. The way we eat is up to us as individuals. It’s so important we honour the animals life by not wasting a thing. It’s also important we honour our own relationship to our food’s origin and don’t look the other way. This may be an alarming image to some. But if you eat meat I believe we should acknowledge it in all it’s gory.

Check out my @guardianfeast column for my guide to eating the whole fish from fin to scale. Link in bio.

#Ad 🌈 E A T T H E R A I N B O W 🌈 🍎🍊🍋🥝🫐 What a great morning celebrating #OrganicSeptember with @organixfood this morning! I had so much fun hosting a live cook-along baking their tasty Rainbow Muffin recipe (check out their website for the recipe).

This year Organix launched their ‘Good for planet. Good for me.’ campaign - an initiative to help parents make sure our kids develop a healthy relationship with good food - especially fruit & veg - food that’s good for us and good for our planet. Head over to their website www.organix.com/goodforme to learn more about it and discover all of their wonderful activities (including games, songs and recipes) to get kids loving their fruit & veg!
