In the first of Foodism’s two summer specials, we’re exploring all things women in food. Expanding on our Insatiable series, this issue aims to highlight the incredible women driving the food, drink and hospitality – not only investigating what it means to be a woman in this industry, but also drawing attention to the gender divide that still exists. We chat to female bartenders about the barriers to remaining in the industry and meet the incredible women at the farming end of the supply chain. Elsewhere, we head to a citrus farm in Valencia with Toklas, round up some of the Insatiable profiles of incredible women in food and drink, and get the lowdown on Kent’s most exciting new restaurant with rooms. Plus, we have some of the best female-led wines, spirits and beers and a trip to Lyme Regis with restaurateur Harriet Mansell. Elsewhere, we’re looking at summer events in London, festivals and summer cocktails – the perfect partner to sunny days in the capital.
