food:mk

This is an opinionated, disjointed ramble around the subject of food in the Milton Keynes area. What to eat; and when. How to catch it. How to cook it. Where to shop. Where to eat out. Maybe, in time, even a meeting point for like minded people searching for a decent meal in this, the most food-corporate of towns.

Please feel free to contact me and let me know what you think. Perhaps together we can get people more interested in what promises to be the most important subject of the 21st century - food

Out of the ashes

Perhaps The Swan Inn in Milton Keynes village should be renamed The Phoenix.

Two weeks after being badly damaged by fire, they have reopened. The outside still looks a wreck but they have done an amazing job inside with bar and restaurant fully operational. Great job guys!

On Saturday 5th May, food:mk will be appearing on Nick Coffer's Weekend Kitchen on BBC Three Counties Radio - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009f192

I don't know whether to suggest you tune in or not in case I make a bit of a fool of myself. But it should be interesting!

I'll be offering rabbit cottage pie and coconut vanilla rice pudding to the ensemble.
