As the world looks at London over the next few weeks, HOPE not Hate is inviting us to celebrate modern Britain – a kaleidoscope of colours and cultures.  Get together with your neighbours, schools, places of worship, community organisations and plan a delicious meal.  Britain Tastes Great is looking for dishes that define modern Britain – add your own to the ultimate collection of recipes that proves Britain Tastes Great!

For the really adventurous, people can host their own event. This can be a house party, a picnic in the park or in the local community centre. We’ll be encouraging churches, mosques, temples and local sports centres to open their doors to the local community and share food.

There’s a pull-out supplement in the Daily Mirror today, with news from the Ramadan Festival, Dine@Mine and the Imperial War Museum.

And a new website is now up – lots of recipes, a map of events and much more – Britain Tastes Great.
