No fish please, we're millennials!

Recent research from the national body, Seafish, has uncovered that millennials eat 50% less fish than their grandparent’s generation. Are we surprised at this? The British tend to eat most of their fish fried, unlike their continental European neighbours who eat more grilled or simply cooked seafood. Restaurant owner and seafood chef Mitch Tonks has seen this himself and puts it partly down to there being very little for customers between fine dining seafood and traditional chippies and an increasing awareness but lack of information regarding sustainability.

Top food waste day: Brits throw away £494 million worth of food each week

Cooking is one of Britain’s favourite pastimes – we share pictures online, make food for our friends and family and consume cooking content at an astronomical rate. However, the UK still throws away an average £494 million worth of food each week, reveals research from recipe box company Gousto.

In an era where it seems like every possible step is taken to be environmentally and financially friendly, just under a third (31%) of Brits are concerned by the amount of food they waste. Half of Brits (50%) who are concerned about food waste say it’s because of the financial impacts, a...
