In fact, Tom will personally ensure that his grub is comprised of good quality, sustainable fresh seafood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hello? Where is the fun in that? Yes, the sales of organic seafood have increased by 39% in the last year, but I would safely say that obesity rates have risen even higher!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Paying a visit to your local fish\u2019n\u2019chip shop isn\u2019t supposed to cost you double your hourly wage, or offer you your daily intake of Omega 3. No, eating fish\u2019n\u2019chips isn\u2019t supposed to make you feel good \u2013 it\u2019s intended to make you feel greasy, bloated and fabulously guilty as your fingers are covered in sticky sauce and mushy peas. What a treat!<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to feel good about your food choices by being produce-conscious, buy a beautiful organic apple, and savour in its taste and cost \u2013 but leave good old, indulgent, fish\u2019n\u2019chips alone!<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n&#8211;    I\u2019ll have mine with an extra side of grease thanks!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jacklyn Swiecicki<\/p>\n<p><strong>Short Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, where growing up in such a buzzing city full of eccentrics and diverse nationalities was the norm, food appreciation came hand in hand with simply going out for a weekday meal. In Melbourne, people don\u2019t just eat; they appreciate what\u2019s presented on a plate. Having a background in publishing and journalism, I adore the feeling and physical comfort that food writing conjures up in readers. Aside from my own passion for cooking, food writing offers a beautiful and real desire for sensory indulgence and new experiences. Having travelled the world for the best part of last year, and now settling in England, I am excited to sample the wonderfully diverse tastes that have revolutionised traditional English cooking. My taste buds are tingling in anticipation\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jacklyn Swiecicki<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jacklyns_5@hotmail.com <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom&#8217;s Place &#8211; Fish and Chips Chelsea Style!
