As part of Great Big Green Week, join the Frome Food Network for an unforgettable adventure through multiple courses of food and drink including a myriad of foraged, reclaimed and rediscovered ingredients!
A communal multisensory event, conceived as an edible conversation between two acclaimed food artists, This Food is Rubbish explores food that is overlooked, misunderstood and wasted in the 30 miles of Somerset countryside that lies between them.
Cherry Truluck (based in Frome) and Annalee Levin (Huish Episcopi) ask “how might we think, eat and farm differently if we took a zero waste approach to food and drink?” This is the first collaborative event of the two artists, who met as residents of Delfina Foundation’s Politics of Food programme and have worked as professional chefs for major restaurants and arts organisations. Both make work which deals with climate transition and the way it is impacted by food’s role as a tangible, cultural and philosophical connection between the body and the land.
This Food is Rubbish is hosted by sustainability-focused Rye Bakery in their beautiful home in a converted chapel on Whittox Lane in Frome. It is supported by Frome Food Network and historic family-run pub Eli’s Rose & Crown in Huish Episcopi of which Annalee is the current Landlady.
We are in the process of redeveloping the Discover Frome website, and invite you to share your views on the current site with us.
