We may not have been at Glastonbury last weekend, but Kitchen Table Projects certainly embraced the festival spirit this weekend by pulling on our wellies, braving the torrential weather, and heading to the the Do You Love Food Festival at Loseley Park, Surrey.
Despite the rain, the festival was bustling with whole range of different producers, including the team from BakedIn, who we go to have a chat with (which will be up on the blog tomorrow- keep your eyes peeled!) As always it was great to see such a huge variety of independent artisans, and to see them embrace the miserable British weather with such determination and cheerfulness!
There was also a huge range of street food on offer (which left us significantly more full than when we arrived)- we sampled some amazing duck wraps, gourmet sausage rolls and delicious cakes (on top of all the samples offered by the artisan stalls...woops!)
One of the best parts of the festival had to be the cookery demonstrations. Michelin star chefs, TV stars, Bakers and Wine experts showed off a variety of tasty dishes and products over a number of different themed stages. We loved seeing Great British Bake Off contestant Cathryn Dresser do her thing making some delicious cakes on the bakery stage, but our favorite demonstration of the day had to Stefan Gates. Although the show was probably aimed more at children (but aren't we all kids at heart?) we loved his exploration of the science of food- it really is true that you learn something new every day!
Even with the torrential rain we had a really great afternoon. And anyway, A British summer without unexpected downpours is like Wimbledon without Strawberries- It just doesn't happen!
