British Food Fortnight

September 18, 2010 Leave a Comment

PIX TWO 039

Today marks the start of British Food Fortnight. Now in its ninth year, it is the biggest national celebration of the diverse and delicious range of food that Britain produces. Sure Start Children’s Centres, Universities, the Army, Cabinet Office, BBC and National Trust are just a few of the establishments taking part.
As part of it, members of the public have been asked to vote for the slogan that they think best promotes British food; and schools are being challenged to design and cook a meal based on recipes that would have been used in their school’s part of the country by previous generations. The winning school is being invited to London to cook their chosen meal for HRH The Duchess of Cornwall and the Hairy Bikers!
Here at www.bariatriccookery.com we shall be featuring a British classic, cooked the bariatric-friendly way every day for the next fortnight.
For more information go to www.lovebritishfood.co.uk

For a first recipe we have that old British Classic – Shepherd’s Pie. This one has been made wls friendly with a different topping and an added protein boosting bean addition. It can be eaten at the AMBER/SOFT FOOD stage post-op and it’s fabulously warm and comforting now that the weather has turned chillier.
