The food and drink revolution seen in England has certainly demonstrated that there's more than one way to order a meal, purchase ingredients and - for that matter - prepare a meal. It seems the country's approach to cuisine, not only in how it's prepared, but particularly with regard to what we consume, has caused a dramatic shift in people's perceptions - and that can only be a good thing!

If you're looking for that special restaurant which doesn't stand on ceremony but still turns out fresh and exciting dishes in a relaxed, informal and child-friendly environment, then look no further than Canteen. Or discover which restaurants are currently producing the goods for the Michelin panel as we take a look at some star ratings. 

Intended as an ode to healthy eating and sustainable farming, the wonderful Occombe Farm is not only a fantastic place to visit, but also a great place to buy fresh produce. Chocolate lovers should pay special attention to our guide to chocolate-y things to do in London, all of which will have your mouth watering and stomach rumbling.
