I want to know where my food comes from and the conditions in which it's grown. I also want to embrace traditional British produce, and seasonality.
I still read the British papers, but I've never been a Royalist, ever. It's funny, there always seems to be much more of a fascination with the Royal Family over here then there does in England.
