"In this Website, Somerset's rich variety and its abundance of special foods weave into the landscape a history we can all taste and savour. The smell of quinces simmering or the look of a slice of summer pudding and cream, are enough to bring back childhood memories of picking fruit in the warm summer sun, of hiding with friends in the bramble bushes and of my mother cooking. The way that food relates to our sense of place and belonging is powerful and exciting."

Councillor Baroness Sue Miller

"Explore the landscape, explore the farmers' markets - discover the farm shops. Taste the produce and gain a real insight into the ethos of seasonal food. Seek out the very best of ingredients and invent your own recipes.
Alternatively, treat yourself to a gourmet experience at one of the many pubs and restaurants specialising in Somerset food.
