We welcome the team from the Murder Express, Best Magazine and Caia to the Hoxton House for a chat.

Today on the Food and Drink Show, The Preshaah is joined by Wine That’s Fruit’s founder and director Peter Allen, who tells us all about his alternative take on winemaking.

We delve into his artisan process which doesn’t use grapes, but instead celebrates the wide variety of flavour that can be unlocked when producing fruit wine.

WTF have a mission centred around creating a unique taste with a sustainable soul and we discuss their decision to sell by the can, the pitfalls of starting your own business from the ground up and even The Preshaah’s very own mulled wine misadventures.

Today on the Food and Drink Show we were lucky enough to welcome pioneering local food experts from the lab-grown meat and cheese sectors.

First, we spoke with Hoxton Farms’ Josh Harfield who walked us through his world as a New Product Development chef at the East London laboratory prioritising taste and mouthfeel without compromising sustainability or animal welfare.

Next we were delighted to chat with Mathew Carver and the Independent’s Patrick McGuigan, co-authors of new book The Cheese Life. We chewed the fat on everything from Lanarkshire blue to fondue even getting to sample some of their favourite fromages!
