The Nation's Favourite Food

Dear Cookery Online Visitor

I am working on a new series for BBC2 entitled The Nation's Favourite Food. We have conducted a survey to find out what the favourite foods are nationwide and we are now looking for enthusiastic amateur cooks to talk about their favourite meals and the way that they eat. I wondered if you might be able to help at all in our search for people to take part.

We are making programmes about each meal time - breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner and also convenience food, party food, the food of love, comfort food, festive food, outdoor food and we need to speak to people who are passionate about each one. I am currently working on the programme about dinner and I just wondered if you might be able to help me find people who regularly cook a proper evening meal.

We're trying to find out if people sit at a table to eat, if they eat alone or with other members of the household, what dinner means to people and whether people still hold dinner parties. Would you be able to publicise our search in some way on your site either through the pages or message board section? Or do you know enthusiastic amateur cooks? We're particularly looking for people who have a strong regional identity and a favourite regional dish. I do hope you will be able to help. If you require more information or would like to talk more, please don't hesitate to contact me, either by email or my direct line is 020 8752 4041.

Many thanks and best wishes

Lynda
