 | | THE ULTIMATE CLIMAX, ‘GASTRONOMIC NIRVANA’ AT THE REAL FOOD FESTIVAL | | | Real Food Festival | | 18/04/2008 | | | Chateaux Margaux, sustainable caviar, premium vodkas, rare Irish cheeses, wagyu liver pate, cured meats from Europe, cupcakes and flowers. This is just a taster of the delectable delicious.magazine Workshops at this year’s Real Food Festival, April 24-27.
The workshops are the ultimate treat for those with not only a passion for great tasting food but for those who really care about where and how their food is sourced. The most anticipated of the workshops will be ‘Gastronomic Nirvana’ where you will learn how and why certain foods have earned the gourmand’s devotion and gold plated reputation.
The Chateaux Margaux’ workshop explores whether there is an undisputed king of wines: the most serious applicant for the crown seems to be this historical blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carbernet Franc and Petit Verdot. In this incredible tasting we’ll give you a ‘vertical’ of one of the five original ‘premier Grand Crus’ from Bordeaux, the most celebrated and loved by wine lovers around the world. Another highlight from ‘Gastronomic Nirvana’ will be Caviar and Vodka: In Western Europe caviar is synonymous with luxury and wealth, while in Eastern Europe it is still commonly eaten in feasts, as part of a celebration. Recently the most famous fish roe in the world has been questioned for many reasons. At this workshop you will get the chance to taste two of the best varieties of ‘sustainable’ caviar – one from the North Western United States and the other from Lombardia, in Northern Italy. You’ll be surprised by the tastiness and richness of this caviar: furthermore, the best vodkas from Russia and Poland will accompany the roe ‘feast’.
Ireland has experienced a true food renaissance in the past decade and artisan cheeses are certainly at the centre of this trend. The Cheeses of Ireland workshop will also tantalise you: Taste a selection of the best Irish cheeses handpicked for you by guru Juliet Harbutt. Visitors to the Real Food Festival will also get the opportunity to meet some of the most inspiring producers including Will Chase of Tyrrells – the potato farm in Herefordshire who will speak about growing his business from seed to crisp using age old varieties of potato and tantalising seasonal flavours.
The Real Food Festival’s concept comes at a time when consumers are beginning to demand greater information as to where their food comes from and the also the welfare of those who produce it. Real Food aims to re-introduce the producer to the consumer once again and change the way we think about food in this country. | |
