We are proud to announce our partnership with award winning vegan chef, Matt Nutter, as part of our plans to develop a quality plant-based range for grocery and foodservice.

Matt is working with us as a consultant chef to support our plans to develop a frozen vegan range, tapping into the ever growing plant-based trend, with a view to launching this summer.

With over 20 years’ experience in the kitchen, Matt owns & operates Stockport-based Allotment Vegan which recently won Restaurant of the year in the City life awards 2018. His passion for plant-based propelled Matt to be a champion for the vegan trend and create incredible dishes at his restaurant, that will be translated into the new range with The Authentic Food Co.

With more than half a million people now vegan in the UK, an increase of 360% in 10 years, and the surge in popularity of alternative diets such as flexitarian and pescatarian, this new partnership will help our customers maximise on the opportunity and bring tasty vegan dishes to the mainstream.

Speaking about the partnership., Matt has said: “The vegan trend has exploded over the last few years with supermarkets/restaurants now offering vegan options, but these dishes can often be uninspiring. Through the partnership with The Authentic Food Co, I want to take mainstream vegan food to the next level and create a flavoursome and inspiring range that is more accessible and will entice non-vegans as well as those who live a plant-based life.”
