In Good Taste
What Shapes What We Eat and Drink — and Why It Matters
It’s never been a better time to be a food lover. We binge Bake Off, follow foodie influencers, queue for trending hotspots and scroll endlessly for ideas on what to cook next. But for all this appetite, how much do we really know about what goes on behind the scenes with our food? And what can we really do to change things? That’s where this handbook comes in.
In Good Taste is a top-line guide to the issues shaping our edible world today. It’s not exhaustive and it’s not meant to be preachy. It’s a starting point to help us see the bigger picture and find our place in it.
Starting with a bird’s eye view of how the food system works (and why it urgently needs transforming), the book then covers:
•The players: Who holds the power, makes decisions and to what extent, and what food policy means for our everyday lives.
•The people: How global trade and colonisation created inequality and continue to shape what we eat – and who gets left behind.
•The planet: How we got here – and what’s at stake for the environment and the climate.
•Positive, practical change: Tangible ways food lovers can make an impact with what’s on our plates and beyond.
If enough of us take an interest, we become powerful ingredients in shaping a fairer food world. We can all make a difference in what really matters in food and drink today.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
