AN EXCITING line up of chefs and food writers are among the menu of delights to be found at Narberth Food Festival next month (September).
Among those signed on to participate in the two-day event are festival patron Angela Gray and former Great British Bake Off contestant Michelle Evans-Fecci.
They will be among a roster of top names sharing their knowledge and expertise and talking about their latest projects when the festival returns after a two year break on September 24 and 25.
Angela Gray’s ninth cookery book, Just Bread, is released on September 8.
Her Cookery School at Llanerch Vineyard is known as one of the top 10 Culinary Schools in the UK, welcoming guests from near and far to immerse themselves into a culinary adventure.
A chef, food writer and broadcaster, Angela has spent 40 plus years developing her recipes, based on her extensive travels and work experiences.
Her client list has included composer Lord Lloyd-Webber, Ex-First Minister Rhodri Morgan, The Welsh Assembly Government, Count and Countess Du Maigret, Count and Countess de Linburg Stirum to name a few.
Evans-Fecci, who now lives in Tenby, grew up on a farm where she learned the basics of cooking, baking and vegetable growing from her parents.
On the popular TV baking show Great British Bake Off she was known for her flavoursome, colourful bakes and for championing locally sourced seasonal produce.
She had a lifelong dream to write her own recipe book and The Seasonal Baker, her first cookbook, is full of tasty seasonal recipes for the whole family to enjoy.
She will be demonstrating two tasty dessert recipes at the festival.
Other local favourites sharing their passion for good food will be Matt Waldron, of the Stackpole Inn, who has an impressive track record having worked in top kitchens and Michelin starred restaurants, and Carmarthen based Carwyn Graves, author of Welsh Food Stories and the bestselling Apples of Wales, who was instrumental in establishing the national collection of Welsh varieties at the National Botanic Garden of Wales.
More programme details and guest names will be released in the coming weeks.
