Indulge in British food during the Fortnight! Seek out in-season fruits and vegetables, quality British meat and some of our country’s fabulous cheeses and dairy produce when you are out shopping and use these to create delicious meals at home. What about trying some of our most traditional dishes, such as Shepherd’s Pie or Apple Crumble, and giving them a modern twist?!

If you have children, consider involving them in the preparation of the meal – British Food Fortnight is a great opportunity to teach them a few cooking skills as well as an appreciation of the pleasures and health benefits of eating good food.
