The Foodie Bugle wins The Guild of Food Writers New Media Award 2012

Many congratulations to The Foodie Bugle contributors, for you have all scooped The Guild of Food Writers New Media Award 2012. We were nominated in the category alongside the BBC Good Food website, The Times online food section and the TimeOut restaurant iApp. In a packed Fishmongers Hall on Wednesday 30th May 2012 we stood with the great and the good of the food writing world to hear the winners announced. Claudia Roden awarded the prizes, beautifully engraved glass vases, with words of congratulation and enthusiasm for each winner.

Well done Foodie Buglers – your hard work and determination has paid off! Our writers, photographers, artisans and lecturers are followed, commissioned, written and talked about by leading influencers across all media. We look forward to reading and seeing the continuing fruits of your labours.

Heartfelt thanks to our website designers, Jason Bye and Joe Tuckwell at Moresoda in Bath, who structured, maintain and administer The Foodie Bugle. Their unstinting support and enthusiasm are unparalleled.
