Food Tribe

by

Food Tribe is a weekly show that explores the stories behind the people doing cool things in the world of food. Join host Georgie Creaven as she sits down with chefs, restaurateurs, food influencers, stylists, and cookbook authors to talk about their food journeys, where and what they love to eat and what it’s really like building a career in the industry. You’ll hear it all from the tribe of foodies at the top of their game…

FOOD TRIBE IS BACK!

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

So, this season I’ve 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.

This episode I’m 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’s 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’s 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.

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’s a modern guide on how to cook, shop and eat in today’s world. It’s a celebration of food, how it’s grown, the farmers who grow it, and how we can all make small changes to eat in way that’s good for us, that’s good for our environment and that’s ultimately delicious.

I headed over to Tom’s 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…
