Malton Food Festival
What a busy week we have had!
After months of planning, The Malton Community Interest
group saw the most successful Food Lovers Festival yet. With an attendance of
20,000, the Malton Food Lovers Festival has been crowned The Culinary Capital
for the weekend. Despite unseasonably cold temperatures the welcome offered to
the host of celebrity chefs was a warm one.
Country Warmth was proud to be the main sponsor of the
cookery theatres for the weekend.
Saturday morning started under very chilly conditions, however a warm
welcome was given to the opening patron Antonio Carluccio. He wooed the packed
marquee with a heady mix of cookery and humour. With typical southern
Mediterranean warmth the crowd were delighted by his demonstration. Next up was
Rob Green chef owner of award winning Green’s of Whitby. Rob has donated his
recipe of Lobster Fish and Chips with mushy peas to the Food Festival booklet.
The day continued with guest demonstrations from Matthew Fort, Tom Parker
Bowles, Stephanie Moon and our local Deli Queen Sophie Legard.
We had fun with our stand; located at the bottom of the
market square we decked it out in jubilee colours. Michael found an old pillar
box red AGA to put on display (red is no longer made at the AGA foundry,
Coalbrookedale any more). We then added touches of patriotic bunting and some
lovely aprons from the magical sewing machine of Mrs Madden. With sayings including ‘Keep Calm your
dinner is in the AGA’ and ‘Bake for Britain’ these pinneys were a resounding
success. We have had to commission more to keep up with the demand!
Sunday was just as busy as the Saturday. With Festival
Patron Rosemary Shrager taking to the stage to show off her fabulous cooking
skills. Not only is Rosemary one of Yorkshires favourite chefs she also brings
a smile and limitless enthusiasm to proceedings. She was most happy to call in
to our stand and share some of her cooking tips with us. Throughout the day
Selina Scott hosted the Masterclass tent. Some fascinating facts emerged from
interviews with local food producers and suppliers. It made us realise how
lucky we are to have such quality of ingredients right on our doorstep here in
Ryedale.
At the end of the weekend we packed the Show trailer away
and drove home a little weary but very happy. Next stop for Shows is the Great
Yorkshire Show July 10th 11th and 12th. We
hope to see you there!

Just a quick up date on what is new at Country Warmth
We are getting really excited about the Malton Food Lovers
Festival.
Today we received confirmation that we our two Falcon demonstration cookers are on their way. We have ordered a cream 1092 deluxe with chrome controls and a black 1000 deluxe both with gas hobs.
These cookers combine stylish design with professional build quality and durability. Both cookery theatres will be using Falcon cookers to take advantage of the many features that have become synonymous with the Falcon name. Most of the celebrity chefs love demonstrating on these cookers, especially as they grace the very best commercial kitchens throughout the UK.

The full programme has been announced for the chef’s
demonstrations on the Saturday and Sunday.
We’re delighted to have Antonio
Carluccio opening the festival at 10.30 am on the 19th May. He will be doing a special take on
local pork.
Then Rob Green, chef – owner of the award winning Green’s
Restaurant in Whitby will be spinning his culinary magic on fresh local
seafood.
Festival patrons and famed food writers Tom Parker Bowles
and Matthew Fort take the lunchtime slot.
The ladies take the stage in the afternoon with Sophie
Legard from Malton Relish demonstrating picnic dishes and Stephanie Moon from
Rudding Park putting her special touch on delicious Yorkshire produce.
In the second cookery theatre a similar variety of chefs are
lined up to take centre stage. Chefs including Amy Callin from Betty’s Cookery
School, Priya and Geetha Raman winners of The Hairy Bikers Best Cooking and
Edward Lee and Richard Walton Allen of ‘Create’ Leeds will be passing some of
their secrets out.
Sundays line up is no less impressive including James
Mckenzie from the Pipe and Glass Inn, Andrew Pern from the Star and Rosemary
Shrager who will be showing off her fabulous cooking skills with a tilt toward
breakfast specials.
Aren’t we lucky to have such a wealth of talent on our
doorstep?
We do hope you will make the most of the weekend and come
and visit us on our stand at the bottom end of the market place, or pop down to
our shop for some AGA and Falcon inspiration!
