The media round-up for the book release

What a week last week was! Far more than we every could have hoped for in terms of publicity for the launch of Sorting the Beef from the Bull and particularly handy that those ground parmesan cheese manufacturers decided to add more cellulose than allowable to cause a very timely food fraud scandal!

So, for my own purposes as well as anyone else who might be interested, here is a round-up of the week’s media coverage. We are very grateful to Ruth Killick, our publicist, as well as the team at Bloomsbury for running us off our feet
