As I’m sure many of you are already aware, least of all from the unashamed unsubtlety of this month’s cover, we recently hosted our seventh annual StrEATfood Awards.

In a day and night of great celebration for the industry, Michael Broad from Fooditude proved to be the undoubted star of the show. The first-time entrant not only took home the big prize of StrEATfood Dish of the Year, but he also prevailed in the Plant Based category.

The StrEATfood Chef of the Year competition, meanwhile, also produced a great story, with Janice Edwards from BaxterStorey, who originally trained as a barista, taking home the title. And in a lovely extra touch, her two daughters were in the crowd watching her cooking her way to victory.

Turn to page 26 to see not only what the winners but all the finalists cooked up. And we will back next issue with an exclusive interview with Michael.
