Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers blog

Answers is a vibrant, growing community. Every day it’s a flurry of questions being asked and knowledge being shared, experiences conveyed and useful advice exchanged. And as the questions become resolved, we hope over time some of it might just make a difference. Receive enough amazing answers and perhaps you could just be a bit better at the things you do.

Throughout the summer, Answers will be looking at helping you being better. To begin, we are looking at being a better foodie. Whether it’s cooking or eating, tasting or savouring, everyone loves good food. Knowing what it is you eat can help you live a healthier life, whereas knowing how to cook can, hopefully, impress your friends and family.

To celebrate our love of food, the UK & Ireland Answers team will be attending the BBC Good Food Summer Festival at the NEC Birmingham from the 13th – 17th June. At the festival you’ll be able to sample treats from some of the most exquisite food and drinks companies in the world. Experts from the industry will also be on hand to answer questions and help you deepen your love and knowledge for food.

While we hope we pick up some great tips at the Food Summer Festival, Answers is also a great source of food expertise. Curious about English wine? Why not check celebrity wine expert Matt Skinner’s question on Answers. Ever wondered what would make up the perfect balanced healthy diet? Isabelle did and Mickl84 was on hand to explain how “protein is a must for anybody…grains are needed for fibre and fibre is needed for good digestion. Carbs are needed for a constant supply of energy. Fruit and veg are needed for a quality supply of vitamins. Water is essential…” Sounds like pretty comprehensive advice.

One Answers user wanted to know how you could best barbeque fruit, whereas another is curious about how you bake bread from scratch. Want to be better at breadmaking, fruit barbequing or just have the perfect balanced diet? Answers helps you be a better foodie.
