In series 5 of Honey & Co: The Food Sessions we're meeting producers, growers and makers who supply some of our essentials. This week we're talking all things fruit and veg!

Self-confessed veg nerd, Guy Singh-Watson has over the last 30 years taken Riverford from one man and a wheelbarrow delivering homegrown organic veg to friends, to a national veg box scheme delivering to around 50,000 customers a week. This episode is a deep dive into the trials and tribulations of producing organic food, modern farming and what it's like to deal with selling fruit and veg to supermarkets.

S05E06 Flour and Ancient Grains with E5 Bakehouse Jul 19, 2019

Show notes

This week we're talking to Ben Mackinnon of E5 Bakehouse all about bread, flour and ancient grains as part of our Makers, Growers and Producers season.

Ben set up E5 Bakehouse in 2011, initially baking sourdough in the pizza oven of a local restaurant in the mornings before they opened. We talk to Ben about his mission to revive the lost art of baking using traditional techniques, natural ingredients and forgotten flours. We learn about their famous sourdough and hear about how they are developing an agroforestry arable farm in Suffolk with a focus on making the transition to a diversified farming system, and localised supply chain for bread.

The evening included a food history chat by Polly Russell and a delicious feast cooked by Itamar, Sarit and Rosie inspired by an extraordinary royal medieval manuscript. In this episode we hear Polly tells us about the magnificent scroll, The Forme of Cury, which inspired the epic feast and all the best things about a medieval banquet.
