A BIT ABOUT SEB
‘Hi, my name is Seb Holmes and I am currently a third year Journalism student at Kingston University. Prior to becoming an undergraduate I worked as a chef in kitchens around Oxfordshire, where I grew up. Cheffing aside, I have just loved food since I can remember; I have always wanted to know how things are made before they get put on my plate.
In this blog I aim to share my story with fellow students, to show them how my flat mates and I manage to eat amazing food every day, for less than the price of a pint!

I’ve heard people complain about the price of food, when they are spending £40 a week on microwave meals. It just didn’t make sense to me how this is possible. How can such an educated sector of society waste so much money unnecessarily?
