The Universal cookery and Food Festival brought some of the industry’s biggest names to Vallum in Northumberland for a day of talks, demos and food.
Super chef Sat Bains shared his experiences with the audience, while Terry Laybourne, Nigel Howarth, John Williams, and Craig Bancroft shared their years of experience in some of the country’s best restaurants. They were joined by North East Michelin star holders Kenny Atkinson and James Close, as well as butcher Charlotte Harbottle. There was also a talk on the joys of eating insects (yep!), plus amazing food from local and national producers.
