Ep 4. Matt White OBE - Championing British Food within University Catering

On this month's episode Derek Wright chats to Matt White OBE. Matt has had an extensive career in university catering and also leads the public sector catering alliance as well as being heavily involved in TUCO, a leading industry body supporting in-house catering.

Listen to Derek and Matt discuss how he managed to embed British food on the menus at Reading University. An inventive way to supply large quantities of milk to the many coffee shops on site at the universities plus how the catering team support students in trying new food and experimenting with cooking for the first time away from home.

Ben Bartlett returns with a great tip on how to store fresh herbs and his recipe this month is a raspberry marinade. https://www.lovebritishfood.co.uk/recipes-ambassadors/ambassadors-raspberry-marinade
