More than 40 food and drink businesses across the region will now come under the scrutiny of a panel of judges made up of some of the top names in the industry, including chef Glynn Purnell (pictured).
The finalists in the inaugural Coventry and Warwickshire Foodie Awards have been unveiled.
The new Foodie Awards 2021, in partnership with Warwickshire County Council and Visit Coventry and backed by the Courier and Weekly News, is a celebration of the best of the region’s food and drink scene as they re-emerge from the pandemic year.
More than 40 food and drink businesses across the region will now come under the scrutiny of a panel of judges made up of some of the top names in the industry, including chef Glynn Purnell, appearing alongside his former employer Andreas Antona, owner of The Cross in Kenilworth, and Russell Allen, managing director of Aubrey Allen.
These recipes from west Dorset chef Lesley Waters are inspired by produce from Dorset family dairy farm Hollis Mead. Set up last year during the first lockdown, Hollis Mead is a brand new family dairy farm based in West Dorset. They produce high quality organic products including milk, yoghurt, butter and cream which they sell out of vending machines across the south West. Their cows are 100 per grass fed, lovingly reared and only milked once a day ensuring a taste of rural Dorset like no other. Chef Lesley, who is well known for her regular television appearances on Ready Steady Cook, Great Food Live and This Morning, has put together these delicious recipes inspired by Hollis Mead produce.
