Author Description

Recent consumer concern over food quality and safety has increased interest in organic food. There is little reliable information about what organic really means, its availability, labelling and cost. This new guide attempts to provide some answers. Edited by food writer David Mabey and "All Muck and Magic" presenters Alan and Jackie Gear, it contains contributions from experts, including farmers, restaurateurs, and food and wine writers, about all aspects of organic production and consumption. Lists of availability of organic food in supermarkets, suppliers of unusual produce and restaurants which use organic ingredients are also included.
