This campaign is a project to encourage eating well and eating more seasonally where possible, as well as eating and shopping locally when time and budgets allow. This campaign is also about reducing food waste, reducing sugar in our diets and helping our children to take an interest in what they consume. We all have financial and time restrictions and it is not always possible to live up to our own high standards but with a little motivation and inspiration we hope to encourage more of you to...

Who are we?
We are a family living by the sea, in Whitstable, Kent. As a family we eat well, we eat together and love food. In our single days we travelled the world with our work and experienced food from all the continents visited. We eat a huge variety of flavours and so does our 3 year old (and he 'loves' veg...yes, I am a lucky mum!).
I continued to widen my cooking skills and flavours over the years, experimenting on friends and flatmates. I certainly don't claim to be a master chef but I do love a big bubbling pot of scrumptiousness. Since I gave birth to my son though, the passion for cooking has wained slightly with the lack of energy, lack of time and lack of motivation. We eat very well still, don't get me wrong but the creativity and pleasure has faded. I am on a mission to re-find that happiness in the kitchen.
Nowadays, there are more issues to focus on than just what tastes good. We are more aware of environmental issues, we are more aware of how our food is produced and what chemicals are put into or onto them. We are also more aware that sugar, colour and flavourings are something to be kept to a minimum to prevent diabetes, obesity, hyperactivity and lowered concentration and that children need educating in the home about food to create and encourage a healthy, balanced future generation.
So, this campaign gives you a wide variety of information around real food, seasonal eating and shopping locally. It is about eating well, not dieting. It is about health and enjoyment. It is about learning and teaching. It is about loving food and passing on that love.

In the next few weeks we will be launching a series of Pledges which you might like to follow and join. These are to keep us on track to a healthier, tastier and more conscious new year ahead.
I hope you will join us in our mission and perhaps enjoy discovering a new you too.
Happy eating!
