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!

Here are professionals offering courses and experiences to broaden your horizons and hone your skills in the world of food and drink so why not treat yourself or gift an experience to a friend.
