Join award-winning Yorkshire food and drink producers to share their trade secrets and taste some of the best food in the country.
Fancy the chance to taste the best food in the land – and chat to the people who make it?
From chunks of fresh organic bread, baked in a wood oven on a Driffield farm, to thirst-quenching gulps of this year’s smash hit drink, cider, brewed from apples hand-picked in North Yorkshire, Deliciouslyorkshire is hosting a packed menu of tastings and tutorials at the York Festival of Food and Drink.
And many of the Yorkshire food producers taking part are still celebrating winning an impressive clutch of prizes at the recent Great Taste Awards – the ‘oscars’ of the food and drink world. Proof, if it were needed, that Yorkshire companies are producing the best food in the country.
The tutorials will take place in a special marquee alongside the Deliciouslyorkshire open air market in St Sampson’s Square, York, from Monday 25 September to Thursday 28 September.*
Other companies confirmed to be taking part include:
• West Yorkshire cheesemongers Cryer & Stott
• North Yorkshire smoked food specialist Mackenzies Yorkshire Smokehouse (a supplier to Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants and winner of a gold Great Taste Award 2006 for smoked dry cured bacon, plus a silver for hot roast smoked salmon)
• Leyburn-based Raydale Preserves (winner of a silver Great Taste Award 2006 for their raspberry jam and bronze awards for Elizabethan Mustard, Elijah’s Yorkshire Chutney and Hellish Relish)
