The Oldie

Fat chance

By Henry Dimbleby with Jemima Lewis

Profile £14.99

Ravenous is an important book.

Dimbleby co-founded the ethically minded fast-food chain Leon, worked with DEFRA on the National Food Strategy and co-authored the UK's School Food Plan.

The result was a wealth of raw material suitable for an in-depth, information-packed, deeply researched world view of the future of food production as it affects everyone on the planet (but mostly our island nation).
