Chiltern Food Festival

Just got back home from running 3 demonstrations in the cookery theatre at the Chiltern Food Festival. I ran two Summer Fruits dems and a Tex Mex dem – tomorrow indra and I are doing a comedy double act doing Thai Green Curry.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, hopefully the audience did too and I even got a round of applause at the end, wow!

The best bit was at the end of the last Summer Fruits dem Alison had come to have a listen to make sure I wasn’t making a total idiot of myself (!) and just got there as I finished, only to hear one lady leaving say to her husband ‘that look great, shall we go home and try that recipe now?’ That’s what it’s all about, if I can encourage just one person per dem to go home and try something new then it’s all worthwhile.

Cookery isn’t rocket science, it’s food – we need it to live, let’s just make it fun!

The show is on all over the weekend and myself and Richard Fox are demonstrating so come along and say ‘hello’. We are running chocolate Easter Egg decorating workshops and biscuit decorating workshops too.
