Goodfoodology

Our Centre for Competence in Traditional Food Culture

I am a firm believer in ‘you are what you eat,’ the importance of sustainable healthy food - and the enjoyment of cooking. On the assumption that one can’t go far wrong with an ‘ology,’ Goodfoodology sprung to mind as a creative and thought-provoking way to study food!
