A London Food Link gathering of good food
On 11 July, we gathered in Flat Earth Pizzas for the first London Food Link event in over 2 years and heard from some of the brilliant people bringing good food to London.
London Food Link and friends enjoyed a welcome drink and some delicious small plates from Flat Earth, before Stephanie Slater, chair of London Food Link, opened the event.
Our host, Sareta Puri, then shared her journey to plant-based chef, and how she's creating 'positive and lasting change which nurtures the planet', followed by updates from:
- Sarah Brading, co-founder of sustainable pizzeria Flat Earth Pizzas
- Rebecca Ghim, founder of The Ferm, a fermentation company using discarded parts of a harvest
- Richard Galpin of Pembroke House in Walthworth, a centre for social action
- Harshita Lalwani of Chelsea Green Publishing, leading publisher of books on sustainable living
- Sean Turner of School Food Matters, the charity for children's access to sustainable food
- Pamela Daniels and Veryan Wilkie-Jones of Made in Hackney, the plant-based community cookery school
- Chris Young, of the Real Bread Campaign, who works towards a future in which everyone has the chance to choose Real Bread
- Sonia Cropper of local London farm and vegbox scheme, Sutton Community Farm
- Georgia Fox of Breadwinners who support refugees and young people seeking asylum in the UK
Guests then enjoyed a selection of heritage grain pizza, whilst catching up about all things good food in the city.
A huge thanks to everyone who contributed to the event!
