tip

sPlan your week and your daysYou are masters of your menu now. Do not leave it to what is available in the here and now and where. Use your fridge and freezer.

Ask lots of questionsRead the ingredients label before buying anything. Wherever the words ‘fresh, ‘farm’ or ‘local’ are used, ask for the name of the farm.

Identify provenance suppliers for your food staples and stock upVisit your nearest food markets and farm shops but even then challenge them to name the farm. You may be surprised how few can. You may need to use Google to find local or online suppliers.

• Pasta, rice and saucesTry Seggiano for pasta or Real Basmati Rice Co or Mr Organic for tinned tomatoes, sauces and snacking.

• BreadBuy your bread from an artisan bakery like Hobbs. There often over 40 ingredients in bread but it only takes a handful of ingredients to make it!

• Meat and FishBe a detective. Don’t be fooled by fake farm brands or fish from fictitious places like Lochmuir. With meat, we know too many butchers and restaurants using the word ‘local’ to refer to the source not the origin. Never ask where food is from, ask them to #namethefarm.

• Milk & EggsSource your milk from local dairies who can name the farm. Chicken meat production is now highly commoditised but you should still be able to source eggs from a named farm.

• Fruit and VegetablesNutritional values wear off with food miles and so does any means of

knowing the origins beyond a country. So, research what is in season and reasonably local - and rediscover the thrill of seasonal produce. Try online too - garlic from The Garlic Farm, for example.

Cook Simply and create leftoversCreate dishes that last - like casseroles and vegetable bakes. Buy flour from companies like Wessex Mill to bake your own bread and biscuits. Keep it simple - let the ingredients sing!

Plan for your addictions, habits and treats• Alcohol

No excuses here - with the growth in artisan beers and distilleries like Chase

• Chocolate Try once a week and it turns into a big treat. There are strong environmental reasons for eating less chocolate but knowing where the beans were grown. Try Chocolarder.

• Coffee and TeaStock up now. For coffee try Ethical Coffee For Tea try Golden Monkey Tea.

Eating and Drinking Out This becomes very difficult and you will need to compromise where necessary - but always ask the questions! Try at least know the origins of the main ingredient on your plate.
