Darlington, in the Tees Valley, was all geared up for its first Darlington Food Festival on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th October, with a real celebrity line up for the Food Theatre, alongside all the top quality local and regional food and drink producers.
BUT…they didn’t anticipate that their special celebrity guest, TV Star Ed Baines, would be involved in an altercation with a bus!! This has somewhat incapacitated Ed, which means that unfortunately he won’t be able to join us at this years Food Festival.
However….Where one (bus) door closes another opens, and DFF are delighted that Lesley Waters will be joining us for the two day Food Festival, heading the brilliant line up of chefs in the Food Theatre. She has also promised to take great care, and to follow the Green Cross Code…
Lesley is a member of the Ready Steady Cook team and a regular contributor to ITV's This Morning. Lesley also runs a cookery school in Dorset and specialises in healthy cooking and food for children.
Lesley’s lively presentations have inspired audiences of Ready Steady Cook (BBC2) and now she appears regularly on ITV1’s This Morning. A former chef and cookery demonstrator, Lesley's sparkling personality makes her a popular television cook and a frequent guest on Good Food Live (UK Food Channel).
There will also be Cookery demonstrations by chefs from Darlington College, local restaurants and hotels and of course Lesley.
This will all be topped off by BBC Tees Alex Hall, who will jolly along the chefs and crowd to what will be a packed programme of Kitchen prowess.
Demonstrations will take place from 11am on both days, and occur every hour on the hour in the Food Marquee, on Market Square, Darlington. The demonstrations are free and places are available on a first come first served basis.
