Madeleine will be speaking about the health giving benefits of different food types and how she first got her interest in food during teenage years, whilst suffering from digestive problems resulting from a poor diet. She turned around her own health after working in an organic cafe and now helps others with their diets.

Festival Director of Liverpool Food and Drink Festival, Denise Harris commented:

“The Good Life area is yet another new attraction we’re bringing to this year’s festival. There’s so much in the media at the moment about eating clean and we’re seeing a real consumer shift for example towards superfoods and raw diets, that we wanted to bring together some of the country’s best organic, vegetarian and vegan producers in one place – supported by Madeleine’s personal insights. We’re anticipating that the Good Life will be a popular area of the festival and one that we’ll see grow considerably over the next few years.”
