If you care as much as we do about good food and where to find it and eat it, foodie will be a must-read every issue.

The editor Alison Davison is restaurant critic on The Birmingham Post and has her own website guide to the area's eateries - www.eat-the-midlands.co.uk.

Every quarter, foodie will bring you news and features on what’s local and seasonal. There are the latest goings-on in the restaurant world, all the up-and-coming foodie events, features and profiles on local chefs and foodie movers and shakers, an ever-growing directory of small producers, delis, farmshops and, of course, the occasional mouth-watering recipe and lots of competitions.

The region offers a treasure chest for those who care about food...it’s the home of everything from Stilton to Melton Mowbray pork pies, from Marches beef and lamb to Evesham asparagus, from the finest beers and ciders to pure and natural spring waters.

You will be able to read selected features from the magazine on this website but the best way to enjoy the magazine is to get your hands on a copy right now!

We’ve got a clear vision about what we want to achieve with foodie but we are also very receptive to your views, comments and ideas so please do get in touch by email, telephone or even snail mail.
