Food for thought

THE British Guild of Food Writers was founded on April 12, 1984, when a small group of food writers met over a superb lunch, amongst them Jane Grigson, Elizabeth David, Arabella Boxer and Michael Smith.

Food for thought

The purpose was to start an association of Britain’s culinary scribes. Twenty five years later there are almost 400 members who include some of the most influential voices in food writing and broadcasting. To celebrate a quarter of a century the British Guild of Food Writers has published How the British Fell in Love with Food.

It’s a fascinating historical record from the arrival of avocado in our supermarkets in 1970s to the food blogs of the 21st century.
