“Now in its seventh year, Foodies Festival has introduced new features to all events in 2013. These include a spectacular Cake & Chocolate Theatre in association with Electrolux. The crowds can indulge in delicious demonstrations in chocolate truffle-making and chocolate tastings with Coeur De Xocolat, as well as desserts and treats with Bonne Maman Madeleines. Also giving daily demonstration will be Fiona Sciolti of Sciolti Chocolate who makes award-winning botanical chocolates using local fruits, flowers, teas, herbs, cream and honey.
Foodies strives to bring new and innovative produce to their events and this year Custom Creams are bringing the world’s first ‘create your own’ liquid nitrogen organic ice-cream experience to Foodies. They can create any flavour of ice cream, sorbet or frozen cocktail from their larder of fresh, seasonal ingredients which they freeze then whip into a delicious frozen treat in less than 40 seconds.”
