Going local in West Sussex

Top designer and Itchenor resident Wayne Hemingway talks about the challenges of launching Vintage at Goodwood and where he enjoys his breakfast in the latest edition of Taste West Sussex.

The magazine for West Sussex foodies has a range of articles, special offers, competitions and dates for your diary focusing on local food and produce.

Other articles include:

· The comeback of rhubarb and why it’s good news for West Sussex growers.
· The take up of the Greening Campaign by communities across the county and the initiatives they’ve started to promote local produce.
· The range of cookery courses available in West Sussex and ideas for how to expand your cooking repertoire.
· Meals on Wheels and how the service in West Sussex provides balanced, healthy meals.
· Southdown lamb, how the breed has changed over the years and why buying Southdown lamb helps preserve the countryside.

West Sussex County Council Leader Louise Goldsmith said: “Buying local is more environmentally friendly and supports our businesses and economy. We’re lucky to have so many food and drink producers in West Sussex.

“Taste West Sussex has many ideas for recipes, what produce is available locally and when it’s in season. I’ve tried many of the recipes myself using home-grown produce from the garden, and can thoroughly recommend them.”
