The Food Chain

Available for over a year

Emily Thomas speaks to three 'sensory food educators' who explain why letting children sniff, touch, describe and listen to their food (as well as taste it) could have a vital impact on public health. Stina Algotson is president of Sapere International in Sweden; Dr Nicholas Wilkinson is the co-founder of Flavour School in the UK; and Sri Kannan is a sensory food educator at the University of Michigan in the US.
