IT’S BEEN A full-on week at Crumbs HQ; not only have we been busy finishing off this fine specimen of a magazine, but things have been ramping right up in the Crumbs Awards stakes, too. We had hundreds of entries sent in for this year’s awards, which will be our second, following the awesome shindig that went on at The Bristol Old Vic last October. The standard is, once again, right up there by all accounts, illustrating what a varied and exciting food scene we have on our patch. And I’m not only talking about great places to eat and drink, but also trailblazing initiatives, pioneering producers, and a host of food and drink focused events. A huge thank you goes to every single business and individual who’s got involved and shared their story. Now that we have our shortlist (check out crumbsmagawards.com to see who made it!), it’s onwards with the judging process. Our fresh panel of industry pros (including Romy Gill MBE, co-owner of Poco Jennifer Best, Sharpham Park’s Roger Saul, and The Bath Pub Company founder Joe Cussens) will have quite the task on their hands, deciding who will take home those hefty trophies this year. Back to the matter at hand, though (i.e. this here bit o’ reading material): you may well notice a theme running throughout the pages. Our fascinating Hero Ingredient, honey, has properly captured our imaginations, so as well as a big three-pager on the lovely stuff itself, you’ll find locally available honey products, bee-inspired kitchen and homeware, and recipes involving the gloriously golden goo – just look out for the Mo’ Honey badge. Right, I’m buzzing off (genuinely sorry for that one), so you can tuck in.
