Problem
I hate battling crowded car parks, buying tickets in advance to commit when I can't predict the weather. However, the food festival this year looks so good. What's good?
Answer
FREE
The lure of goody bags and beer if you get in fast with the code.
SEE - CELEBRITY CHEFS
'Great British Bake Off winner 2017 Sophie Faldo baking live in The Cake & Desserts Theatre, as well as top local talent
64 degrees & Great British Menu winner Michael Bremner,
Michelin-starred Matt Gillan of Pike & Pine and
Michelin-starred chef of Ockenden Manor Stephen Crane all cooking up a storm in the Chef's Theatre'.
SEE - RAINBOW CAKE
The cake and bake festival with my visual favourite, the multi-coloured rainbow cake. The question is, how do you get it to taste as good as it looks.
SINGAPORE
If you are travelling to Singapore, or on a stopover to Australia or anywhere else, look around Singapore or the airport.
Singapore is like one long food festival, with mutli-national stalls on the cheap hawker centres and department store food courts.
My unfavourite food is the so subtle green pandan cake popular in Singapore which rarely tastes of anything and has no much or crunch. However, try anything once.
Yes, Singapore has rainbow cake too.
Back to England - flavoursome rainbow cake sounds great.
MACAROONS
What if you love desserts but want to save calories, and costs, and leave room to eat something different later? Macaroons are the thing. They usually have great colours and flavours.
PROSECCO
Cheap and cheerful, I like Prosecco, more than Cava and Champagne. It's less alcoholic, too.
The alcohol includes:
Champagne
Gin
Prosecco
Beer
If you really want to cut down on the alcohol, try the beer. Or the Tea Tent.
What about children? Yes, cookery for kids.
Anything sensible and savoury (yes, Cheese) or healthy and fruity?
COLOUR
If you don't want more to eat, feast your eyes on the red aprons advertising the foodies festival. Not just in London. They hold events at places as far apart as Brighton in Sussex on the south coast of England and up north in Edinburgh, Scotland. You might have missed the one in Brighton early this year, and if you miss the May bank holiday event in London, there's Brigmingham in June and several more run by the same company. And they are not the only company.
Plus coastal areas have seafood celebrations.
