We hope you’ll be able to join us at the Organic Food Festival, Bristol on 3rd September, where renowned green chef and social entrepreneur Arthur Potts Dawson will be demonstrating how to make Mackerel Ceviche and Sweetcorn, Chilli and Coriander Griddle Cakes. Both recipes are taken from Good Energy’s new ‘Good Kitchen’ guide, featuring exclusive seasonal recipes and great tips on how to give your kitchen a green makeover – from how to source ingredients to cutting energy use.

As Arthur says, “We’re lucky to have some fantastic food producers in the South West, and it’s great to see growing awareness of the importance of supporting local suppliers – but how food is prepared also has an impact. A third of household energy consumption takes place in the kitchen. It’s time to think about cutting down on ‘carbon calories’ using a few simple ideas which I’ll be showcasing at the Organic Food Festival when I cook up some of my brand new recipes from the Good Energy Good Kitchen guide.”

Just as Arthur believes in supporting local, seasonal and organic food producers, Good Energy believes in supporting local, homegrown electricity generators – like South Penquite Farm in Cornwall and Mackie’s Farm in Aberdeenshire.

So we worked with Arthur to produce the Good Energy Good Kitchen Guide, which includes eight delicious seasonal recipes -- for high quality and tasty meals combining sustainable food with intelligent use of energy. The guide also offers readers information on how to cut carbon in their kitchen and invites them to take a seven-day low-carbon cooking challenge.

Pick up a free copy of the Good Energy Good Kitchen Guide from the Good Energy stand at the Bristol Organic Food Festival or, if you can’t make it to the show, we’ll send you a copy in the post: just email customeradmin@goodenergy.co.uk
