Food & Drink
Discover the flavours of Britain and beyond
From Somerset cider makers and Devon cheesemakers to Michelin-starred restaurants, village tavernas and artisan food producers across Europe and beyond, our award-winning journalists explore the people, places and traditions behind unforgettable food and drink.
Food has always been at the heart of my travels. During more than fifty years as a journalist, I've discovered that the best stories rarely begin in famous restaurants. Instead, they start in fishing harbours, family-run vineyards, cider orchards, artisan bakeries, cheesemakers' dairies and bustling local markets, where passionate producers keep traditional skills alive.
This collection brings together my favourite food and drink features from across the West Country and around the world. You'll find restaurant reviews, vineyard visits, seafood adventures, traditional cider makers, hidden cafés, local delicacies and the fascinating people behind them. Whether you're planning your next culinary escape or simply love discovering authentic food stories, I hope these articles inspire your own journey.
