Meet the winners 2017
What a golden night for our inaugural winners
These exceptional foodies were the very first to be recognised for their incredible innovations in flavour, ingredients, packaging, smart kitchen tech and food writing.
Our Gold and Silver Award winners joined us for a spectacular night at OXO2 on London’s South Bank, on the first night of London Tech Week. With the fabulous TED star and food urbanist Carolyn Steel as our speaker, along with a host of brilliant other guests and a ‘people’s choice award’ tasting session, it was our highlight of the year.
