5TH Broadstairs Food Festival



Friday 4th  – Sunday 6th October 2013

Now celebrating its fifth year, the Broadstairs Food Festival combines energy and enthusiasm for Kent produce with a passion for providing East Kent with a truly independent community festival.

Held annually in the picturesque seaside town, this is the highlight in East Kent’s food festival calendar, attracting between 40,000 and 50,000 plus visitors. The main action is a free entry 3-day Food Fair when the promenade and VictoriaGardens become home to over 100 food and drink stalls. There are artisan beers and ciders, Kent cheeses, organic and sourdough breads, stacks of preserves and chutneys and a host of hot food stalls.

Andy McLeish from the Michelin starred Chapter One restaurant, Locksbottom, will be headlining in the Kitchen Theatre on Friday 4th October.

Other demonstrators will include local chefs and students of EastKentCollege, prime sponsor to the Festival.

Festival favourite TV chef Dev Biswal from Margate's Michelin-listed Ambrette Restaurant, recently declared the ‘Best Indian Restaurant in Britain’ by Morrisons magazine, will again will again be demonstrating his cooking skills.  The Ambrette has also been name ‘Best Restaurant in Kent 2103’ in the Taste of Kent Awards.

“The Fayre celebrates, showcase and champions Kent’s food heritage and diversity from sea to shore, field to fork,” said Festival Director Jo Scott, who added, “The event promotes Broadstairs’ and Kent’s quality food businesses and restaurant, driving the county’s reputation as a progressive and exciting food destination.”

Bring the younger family members along to enjoy the free Children’s Workshop mornings with a variety of activities planned including bread and pizza classes.

The Festival includes a number of fringe events in the days prior to the Food Fair. Back by popular demand is the Gala Supper on October 1st at EastKentCollege where the students plan, prepare and serve seven courses of fine dining. Local restaurateurs, cafe owners, musicians and the Thanet Film Club are joining in the spirit of the Festival. Fringe events encompass poetry, film, music and of course, food!

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
