FreeFrom Food Awards judging – Day 2…

29/01/2014 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  2 Comments

Pizza and pasta judging

 

Whew! Day 2 over….. Whew only because we had three  categories with enormous entries to judge. However our judges did a stirling job working their way Food-to-go and then a HUGE number of pizzas and pastas. You can see them here hard at work on the latter.

Judges who had been foolhardy enough to book in for the whole day (all three sessions) were to be found running up and down our many stairs in the breaks to ‘aid digestion’. Hotly pursued, I might add, by our cats who have been more than somewhat put out that their comfortable sleeping dens in the big office have been filled with noisy judges wishing to discuss the merits and de-merits of soya versus coconut as an alternative to dairy and whether buckwheat is to be the ‘next gluten’….

Puddings

Those who did stick it out through all three sessions were, however, rewarded with a feast of ‘ice creams’, sticky toffee puddings and choccy desserts at the end of the day….

Tomorrow we are on to nut free, food service and meat based ready meals….. Can’t wait!!!

    Wow Michelle,
    You are so speedy with your blog write-ups.
    It was a fantastic day’s judging yesterday and so well organised.
    I’m totally reeling from all of the products we tasted yesterday,
    I did think I wasn’t going to be able to eat ever again but I realised I was actually hungry at breakfast time 🙂
    Good luck with the rest of the judging, this week and next!
    Liz xx

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
