BBC Radio 4 - The Food Programme with @SheilaDillon
https://t.co/rnho12z9iP
Using creativity, flair and imagination to turn constraints into great food.
A standout moment in last Friday’s The Food Programme was hearing from Frank Fiore, Catering Manager at Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and a member of the Love British Food Hospitals and Care Catering Working Group (listen from 28 minutes into the programme).
Championing local, farm-fresh produce and that powerful field-to-fork connection, Frank talks about cooking seasonally, being creative with what’s available — “I’ve got leeks today, what can we make with leeks?” — and making the very best of what you can afford.
A powerful reminder that, in the face of the cost of living crisis, chefs across every sector rely on creativity, values and good British food to make a real difference.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon. He has launched this illegal war in partnership with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a fugitive from international justice who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
@mjfree They also threaten the @bbc —one of the very very few independent voices in the English speaking world. Trump’s money men have a long term strategy to bring it down: ‘Irrelevant’ ‘corrupt to the core’ ‘waste of taxpayers’ money’ No. A bulwark against what is happening in the US
How does Moscow view Donald Trump at the end of 2025? One Russian paper today: “The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World…he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” #ReadingRussia
Not only did Israel systematically hunt down and kill almost every journalist in Gaza, they murdered more than 700 of their family members also.
This slaughter went on while many of the world's most prominent journalists stayed quiet. It is an eternal stain on our profession.
As Zelensky visits the White House and gets bullied again, remember this clip of Marco Rubio explaining the U.S. promised to defend Ukraine FOREVER if they gave up their nukes when the USSR fell.
That’s why Lil Marco hides. He hoped we wouldn’t find it. Don’t share it right now.
It has been made abundantly clear to women, over and over, that the trans movement is entirely predicated on prioritising men’s feelings over women’s physical safety
The rot is finally surfacing.
A former Brexit Party MEP - named in WhatsApp messages alongside jailed Reform UK leader Nathan Gill - is now denying pro-Russian payments after being linked to a Putin-aligned influence network.
This isn’t a one-off.
Brexit wasn’t homegrown.
It was infiltrated.
Farage built his career on a movement riddled with Russian 🇷🇺 links and now the messages, the money trails and the convictions are landing.
Sunlight really is hitting the vampires.

Tony Benn’s 5 key questions:
“What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How do we get rid of you?
And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”

@bigfatsurprise Definitely contradicted by human history & by the health stats of countries where wine drinking is part of the food culture. Consider Spain—according to several global measures the healthiest country in the world. A meal with a glass or two of wine
Why the #BBC is crucial, why the mostly foreign-owned, right-wing, let’s-destroy-democracy-&-make-serious-money @DailyMail@TheSun@thetimes@Daily_Express@Telegraph@GBNEWS spent so long, so much $£$ undermining the @BBC. Waste of taxpayers’ money? A last defence is what it is.
