Synopsis

The End of the Line was awarded a special commendation at 2005's highly prestigious André Simon Memorial Fund Book Awards. The awards – for the best books on food and drink published during 2004 – were chosen from over 125 entrants. The Trustees of the Fund said of The End of the Line that “its reportage style of writing made the book highly readable. It is a modern polemic and a harangue from the heart.”
The End of the Line won the Guild of Food Writer's The Derek Cooper Award for Investigative or Campaigning Food Writing 2005. This award, launched in 2002, honours the Guild's first president, the writer and broadcaster Derek Cooper. It highlights the ever-increasing importance of the work of the food writer in the area of food policy. The Guild of Food Writer's awards are the only food writing awards in the UK judged solely by professionals in the field.
