The Ceres Podcast

Stelios (Founder & Director of Ceres | Pure Food Innovation) travels and talks to exciting people within the Food & Hospitality industry. We don't rush in this podcast; we really want to discover what makes people do what they do.

Focussed on learning from chefs, food producers, fish & chip shop owners, growers, hoteliers, food futurists, suppliers, potato merchants, restauranteurs, trade associations, and whoever makes hospitality happen.

Tune in if you're in the business of making hospitality happen.
