Nose-to-Tail fortnight

Hi everyone,

Thought you might be interested in an event Ethical Eats is currently running, which has been picked up really well by the press. 'Nose-to-Tail fortnight' encourages chefs and diners to:

  • Take an interest in where the meat they cook and eat comes from
  • Explore different recipes and cuts of meat, and cut down on waste
  • Make sure animals are raised to high welfare standards, and as local as possible
  • Think about reducing the amount of meat they eat

A couple of examples of press:

We're hoping to do something similar in a couple of months but for local food. More on that soon.

Best wishes
