Bob Andrew

Former head chef at Riverford's award-winning Field Kitchen restaurant, these days Bob has turned his culinary talents to recipes and new product development. His interest in sustainability was piqued in his mid-twenties on reading the quote from Wendell Berry: "Eating is an agricultural act", which opened his eyes to field to fork eating and moved his aspirations away from fine dining towards a less refined but more 'right on' approach to food. He spends his time at work cooking, writing and talking about food, and is passionate about encouraging people to try veg they might find daunting. Outside of work, he can be found in the kitchen, or dabbling on his no-dig, organic allotment.
