Foodies Festival Brighton

Despite the deluge on Saturday afternoon, we had a successful day at the Foodies Festival in Brighton. A group of tents, buses and a giant teapot faced the sea at Hove Lawns. Packed with everything to do with food and drink it is a gourmand's dream. Demonstrations from top chefs were mixed with wine tasting classes and stall after stall of goodies.

As we walked in our first sight was Aldo Zilli serving Italian street food to the crowd.

I also got to meet Emma Spitzer, Masterchef finalist and a personal favourite with her Middle Eastern fusion style cookery. What a thrill, she was so nice, even given my stammering explanation of needing chefs to talk about culinary history on Tasteful Travel tours. Here's hoping!

We rounded off our trip with a cup of tea, buying some gourmet sausage rolls and resisting a gorgeous bottle of  wonderful Silent Pool gin. Maybe next time...

Visiting Brighton always gives us a buzz but it was made even more fun with the Foodies Festival.

Hope you can make it to your local Foodies Festival, best wishes Sarah.
