It’s the industry’s biggest show of the year and we’re very excited to be at Hotelympia again from Monday 28th April to Thursday 1st May, taking place at the ExCel in London.
If you look after your shoes, your shoes will look after you. Shoes have been worn for centuries as a means of protective clothing and retaining warmth. Although they are now very much a fashion statement, wearing a good pair of shoes can make you feel a million dollars. For chefs and kitchen staff alike, shoes as protective wear and functionality are just as important as it first was all those years ago.
More than 2,700 schools in England will need to improve kitchen standards to be able to provide free meals for infant school children it has been announced this morning on the radio and BBC news.
The latest weather reports were forecasting pollution which would stick around for days.
The pollution – a mix of local and European emissions and dust from the Sahara – was affecting areas in the South and South West of England.
Coupled with the health scare on the young and elderly, and the poor visibility, this is a matter which needs to be addressed, on a global scale.
And it can be the small changes which make a big difference.
Here’s how:
Keeping Clean
Health and safety is often a common phrase you hear around the work place. And such a priority doesn’t differ too greatly around the home either. But with so many products on offer, making an environmentally friendly choice can be somewhat overwhelming.
The product Ecover are pioneers of sustainability and ‘green’ as can be. Using plant and mineral based ingredient, this brand of cleaning products certainly bring ‘Feel Good Cleaning’ to the home and workplace. The non bio laundry gel is a powerful cleaning solution at just 15 degrees C. The gel is enzyme free which means that this laundry detergent is kind to sensitive skin types. And once all 980ml has been all used up, the container is biodegradable which helps to minimise the landfill waste.
There’s nothing quite like a cup of coffee. Whether you’re
cappuccino crazy or mad for Americanos, there’s no denying coffee’s immense
popularity. In fact, it’s the most popular beverage on the planet, with over
400 billion cups of coffee consumed globally every year. And we in the UK are
as keen on coffee as anyone, with over £1 billion spent annually, and each
person consuming a staggering 2kg of it every year.
There has been much debate about recent health campaigners’ claims that we should up our daily intake of fruit and veg from the previous 5-a-day to 7-a-day. The claim arose after the results of the recent UK-based Health Survey that states eating a slightly higher portion of fruit and veg will considerably enhance your health and life-expectancy. The debate seems to have sparked controversy as many believe that we on average barely consume 3 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Whether this is due to worrying about the cost of fresh vegetables to not having enough time to make a fruit salad, those for and against the recent claims seem to be equal on both sides.
