I was born in the '60s and grew up in the '70s - not exactly the best decade for food in British history. It was horrendous. It was a time when as a nation we excelled in art and music and acting and photography and fashion - all creative skills... all apart from cooking.
Goodness is about character - integrity honesty kindness generosity moral courage and the like. More than anything else it is about how we treat other people.
