    Make Veganuary a real treat – Vegan experiences to enjoy at home

    January 1, 2021 / No Comments

    Loosened the waistband over the festive period? Veganuary (Vegan + January) is a chance to rejuvenate yourself with nutritious and delicious plant-based meals.  It’s no secret that vegan diets have boomed in recent years. They’ve jumped up from just 150,000 of the UK population to 600,000 in as little as five years.

    Give something new a go this September – Festival of Learning (1st – 30th September)

    September 1, 2020 / No Comments

    It feels great to learn new skills.  And over the past few months, some of us have had some extra time to try other things.

For the month of September, the organisation is promoting the benefits of learning and encouraging people across the country to ‘have a go’ at something new. With that in mind, here are some of our most interesting and exciting online courses you can…

    August 18, 2020 / No Comments

    “Michelin is the only guide that counts.” Paul Bocuse, French chef and pioneer of nouvelle cuisine Amazingly, the first Michelin guide was published 120 years ago. And, arguably, a recommendation in that iconic little red book means more to chefs now than ever before. In fact, it ignites the same amount of debate and passion year-on-year in France as the Oscars does worldwide. But surely to dine out this well must cost a fortune? Not anymore. Many of the UK’s most coveted restaurants are participating in the government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
