Thousands set to visit food festival
By helen kitchener
Thousands of people are expected to attend a festival celebrating the best of the Leicestershire's food and drink.
Around 20,000 people visited the first Summer Food and Drink Festival at Leicester Market last year. Organisers hope to draw larger crowds for Sunday's free event.
More than 200 chefs, farmers, producers, growers, market traders and food and drink companies will take over the market.
Market development manager Joe Harkin said: "It will be a bank holiday and the weather looks good so we are definitely aiming for 20,000 people.
"Last year the atmosphere was great and we attracted a lot of new faces to the market.
"We try and make it a nice balance with something sweet, something savoury and the drinks element."
Mr Harkin said it was an exciting time for the county's food and drink scene thanks to the popularity of summer and winter food festivals last year and the new open-air piazza in the market selling freshly-prepared food.
Visitors to Sunday's festival will be able to enjoy locally-produced drinks, such as cider made with Leicestershire apples.
There will also be cookery demonstrations.
They include Mark Tetloe from Enderby brewery Everards showing how to match food with the perfect beer and the head chef at Indian restaurant Bobby's dispensing expert advice on using spices.
Among the stalls will be one from Farmer Fear's Thirsty Farmer Cider in Sutton Bonnington.
The company will be serving half and full pints and selling flagons and bottles to take away.
Vanessa Gregory, from Farmer Fear's, said: "We went to the festival last year and it was fantastic.
"It's a really good place for us to promote a Leicestershire company."
Tom Cockerill, owner of Entropy bar and restaurant, will be giving visitors the chance to sample mini Yorkshire puddings and the locally-sourced meat he uses in his Sunday roasts, as well as homemade jam and granola from the breakfast menu.
Tom said: "This is definitely something Leicester benefits from. It's a chance for restaurants and producers to show off a bit. "It's something Leicester needs because in years gone by I don't think we've shouted enough about the quality of produce and restaurants we have."
Eliene Reis will be bringing her authentic Brazilian cooking to the festival for the first time, serving the country's national dish Feijoada, a stew of black beans and meat.
Eliene, who lives in Leicester's West End and is in the process of starting up a catering business, said she was looking forward to representing her homeland at the event.
"I'm very passionate about food and I just want people to enjoy my cooking."
The festival runs from 11am to 5pm on Sunday.
