As a result organically produced food has higher amounts of beneﬁcial minerals, essential amino acids and vitamins than non-organic food.

Find a dish for Notts As part of a team of amateur chefs representing Nottinghamshire on ITV’s ‘Taste the Nation’ Cate Harvey had a fantastic experience proving that Notts produces some of the best ingredients in the UK. But when coming up with dishes to represent the region she discovered that Nottinghamshire doesn’t have a county dish in the same way that Lincolnshire has a sausage or Melton Mowbray has pork pies. Which is why she is now looking for individuals or groups to put forward recipes that truly represent Nottinghamshire, embodying its history, its diverse culture and its fantastic raw ingredients. Winners could find their dishes ending up on restaurant menus and being endorsed by one of Britain’s top chefs. So what are you waiting for?
