Sustainable Food Fest Festivities

Posted on by violetta.lynch

On 1 June 2018 we celebrated London’s rich, bountiful and diverse food culture with an event at Mercato Metropolitano. Chef Cyrus Todiwala (CBE, OBE) gave a cookery demonstration, using some of the top 10 foods we waste in the UK and was interviewed by the one and only Angellica Bell, winner of 2017 Celebrity Masterchef. Attendees had the opportunity to taste his creations, as well as sample dishes created from leftovers made by some of the stall holders at Mercato.

What exactly are sustainable cocktails?

Posted on by violetta.lynch

It looks like sustainability is starting to make waves in the drinks world too! Sustainable serves, which means applying eco-friendly principles behind the bar as well as when purchasing drinks ingredients, are cropping up more and more, with businesses thinking about their water, energy and food waste impacts.

To encourage the sustainable cocktail movement, London hotspot Sexy Fish have created a cocktail menu that uses no perishables, with citrus, herbs and garnishes replaced with a homemade range of cordials, syrups and shrubs, as well as an accompanying recipe book which shows people how to re-create the drinks at home.
