Food File - Wonderful websites
Wonderful websites.
www.farmgatedirect.com is the website of FREEDOM FOODS, the RSPCA's farm animal welfare scheme, which ensures animals are reared to the charity's high standard of welfare. It is aimed at caterers, consumers and independent retailers and enables customers to select different products from a range of Freedom Foods merchants in a single purchase. The website lists all merchants around the country such as Ken Webb's Traditional Farmhouse Beef in Cheshire and Castle Farm in Somerset, and provides all contact details and a brief description of available produce. Customers are guaranteed a high standard of product, which is delivered within around 72 hours of receipt of order.
If you are interested in bread then www.danlepard.com is a site for you. It has been set up by DAN LEPARD, an artisan baker who believes that "the baker's skill is to encourage natural developments. The bread that results from this understanding will always taste better than the products of an aggressive technical process". Dan has worked with bakers and chefs around the world, such as Alistair Little and Giorgio Locatelli. The site includes a list of some top bakeries, shops, cafés and restaurants. Visitors can also find recipes, suppliers and general tips in the Bakers Forum by posting questions or messages.
www.squarepiecompany.com is the site for SQUARE PIE, a home-made pie shop in Old Spitalfields Market, London E1, set up in 2001 by Martin Dewey because he believes "the world needs better pies". It provides a full menu of all pies available, from classic steak and kidney and chicken and mushroom to adventurous chorizo sausage and wild mushroom and asparagus. Customers can order pies for lunch-time delivery (minimum order 20) by calling 020 7377 1114 by 3pm the day prior to delivery.
