Initially a COVID lockdown project, The Sustainable Chef (Andy Oakey) was born out of a desire to help people to cook with more confidence whilst reducing their environmental impact. After nearly 2 years of trial and error alongside a full-time day job, The Sustainable Chef cookbook became a reality in 2021.

Since then, Andy has been sharing his recipes and knowledge with food festival crowds up and down the country, including at the BBC Good Food Show, London VegFest, and multiple Foodies Festivals.
