Hello dear reader,
A big thank you to everyone who entered last month’s giveaway. This month I’ve got something rather special for you.
Edinburgh is THE place to be every August. The city is literally buzzing with activity and you can hardly walk a few paces without seeing some sort of performance or bumping into a celebrity! There is a festival for everyone – the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the International Festival, the Festival Fringe, the Book Festival, the Mela and the Foodies Festival!
For my give-away this month, I have five pairs of tickets for the Foodies Festival!
Foodies, as the Foodies Festival is affectionately known, started in Edinburgh back in 2007 and is now the UK’s biggest food festival with events all over the country. Foodies Edinburgh is a weekend celebrating Scotland’s finest produce, with over 200 artisan producers selling their wares and handing out lots of tasty samples.
There is also international street food, pop-up restaurants, a BBQ arena and a vintage tea tent.
Particularly exciting are the various theatres with live cookery demonstrations.
– The Chef’s Theatre has a fantastic array of chefs, all cooking their signature dishes live and giving you top tips on how to easily recreate them at home. The glittering line-up includes recently crowned Chef of the Year Neil Forbes, innovative chef Mark Greenaway, popular “Spice Man” Tony Singh and a host of other top chefs.
– The Chocolate, Bake and Preserves Theatre will feature demonstrations by chocolatiers, bakers, top pastry chefs and sugar-craft experts.
– The Drinks Theatre masterclasses are more varied this year with features on wine, champagne, sherry, beer, ales, spirits and cocktails.
– The Children’s Cookery Theatre will keep little Foodies amused with cookery workshops featuring cuisine from around the world.
If you feel in a competitive mood, you can enter BBQ challenges, meat-eating competitions, chilli-eating challenges, and cocktail-making competitions. Or take your partner to the floor in the vintage tea dance, or sit at the banqueting tables in the feasting tent, or lounge on the hay bales in the Real Ale and Cider Farm!
Have I convinced you yet that you have to come?
