In this episode of Birmingham food podcast Breaking Bread, your hosts Liam & Carl delve into the inspiring journey of Andrew Perry, aka Andy Grows Herbs, co-owner of Urban Herbs. Join us as we explore the incredible story of how Andy transformed the tiny front garden of a former council house into a thriving oasis of edible plants. Through his experiences and insights, we uncover the importance of a food-growing revolution and its impact on down-to-earth areas.

Episode Highlights:

1. Introduction to Andy Grows Herbs: Meet Andy Perry, the visionary behind Urban Herbs, as he shares his mission to prove that anyone, regardless of their living situation, can grow their own food.

2. The Essence of a Food Growing Revolution: Discover why growing your own food is becoming a crucial life skill, especially in a society where seasonal interactions are limited to brief walks from the front door to the car.

3. Rationing and Rising Prices: Learn how the recent rationing of fresh produce in UK supermarkets and soaring fruit and vegetable prices highlight the urgency of reconnecting with food growth and self-sustainability.

4. Andrew's Transformational Garden: Dive into the remarkable journey of turning a small front garden into a bountiful source of fresh produce. Andy discusses the challenges he faced and the lessons he learned along the way.

5. Empowering Communities: Explore the birth of Spring Arts, a community interest company co-founded by Andrew and his partner, which focuses on teaching children how to grow their own food. Discover how they're igniting a deeper connection between growing and consuming.

6. Growing Beyond the Garden: Andrew reveals his approach to working with primary schools and creating small-scale growing spaces. Uncover how they're leaving a lasting impact through educational initiatives and a practical how-to guide.

7. Cultivating Resilience: Andy provides valuable advice for beginners and those facing setbacks in their home gardens. Embrace realistic expectations and self-compassion to overcome challenges.

8. Harvesting Hope: Wrap up the episode by reflecting on the powerful message of hope and self-empowerment that Andy Perry's journey brings. Rediscover the joy of growing your own food and be inspired to join the food-growing revolution.

   9. Connect with Urban Herbs: Find out how to connect with Urban Herbs, learn more about their projects, and get involved in the food-growing movement.

Tune in to "Harvesting Hope" and embark on a transformative journey of rediscovering the joy of growing your own food, one seed at a time.

 HELLO FOODIES, This week we are Breaking Bread With Head Chef & owner of one of our favourite restaurants at the moment, Little Blackwood Moseley.  We start the episode off by going through Bens work history, places he has trained at, and how working in hotel kitchens is so different to working in a normal restaurant and changes dramatically again, when you own your own restaurant. Since recording this episode, we have been very lucky to have become friends with Ben & his girlfriend restaurant manager Zsofia. As you hear in the show, Ben is extremely passionate about his restaurant and loves what he does. I think the crazy hard work that goes in to being a restaurant owner is evident.

Trailer for this week's podcast with Tom Shepherd owner of Michelin Star Upstairs in Lichfield & star of BBC's Great British Menu

Full Episode Out Monday 17th July

  

HELLO FOODIES, 

This episode I have a chat with massively talented, great guy Sebastian Clough. Sebastian is a Baker and owner of Four Oaks bakery Onthebreadline. The bakery creates quality handcrafted baked goodies and breads. An interesting chat where we discuss taking a talent and skill, and turning it into a business. 

Unfortunately when we organised a date to sit down and record this chat, i failed to notice that i had organised it for November 5th. Bonfire night. To make things worse, Sebastians bakery is across the road from a school which was holding a giant fireworks display. So a complete rookie error on my part, but its a learning curve. Thankfully the display finishes four minutes in, and we have a great little chat.

HELLO FOODIES, As you may have seen ALL over social media the last couple of weeks the 10 years challenge is everywhere. So we thought it would be kind of fun to do a 10(ish) year challenge to one of our favourite suburbs of Birmingham...Kings Heath. Few places have changed as quick as Kings Heath from somewhere you would struggle to get some decent grub to what is now being hailed as a foodie paradise. We talk all about our favourite bars restaurants and bakeries in which there are lots. Places like Bloom, Maison Mayci, Earlybird Bakery, Juke, Grace + James and Hop & Scotch have joined old favourites like the Hare & Hounds and Kitchen Garden to give us loads to love about Kings Heath.

HELLO FOODIES, This is one of the nicest chats i've had since starting this podcast. Julia, Beatrice and their team welcome all who visit their restaurant Ju Ju's Cafe as long lost relatives. That's exactly how i felt after finishing this podcast there. It was so good to hear their story, their love and passion for what they do really shines through. A real and genuine family run restaurant serving fresh home cooked comfort food in the heart of Birmingham, Ju Ju's is somewhere you have to visit. A few people getting in touch to ask what the banging sound is, the sound is from a very passionate restaurant owner banging the desk as she lovingly talks about her food. Also we did record at the restaurant while they were busy getting set up for dinner service so there was a bit of background noise.
