The Kent County Show, running from the 10th - 12th July 2015 will be a wonderful three day celebration of home-grown, home-cooked and home produced food. The Show which takes place at the Kent Showground, Maidstone sits in the heart of the County known as 'The Garden of England'. With a vast larder of produce being grown, cooked, competed and sold, it is one of the annual foodie highlights for Kent.
Congratulations to our winner Lynn Neal (Northamptonshire).
It is always a great delight when we discover something new to share - especially when that 'something' is not only new to us, but new to everyone - and when that 'something' is also chocolate we are in our own personal heaven. So it is a pleasure to announce that not only did we witness, we also sampled chocolate from the launch of Lucocoa Chocolate, at the London Chocolate Festival last month.
West Dean's popular Design and Craft Fair, featuring MADE, returns this year from 19th to 21th June. Visitors will have the chance to take part in hands-on creative workshops and learn new skills from some of the College's expert tutors. A series of workshops will run throughout the weekend giving visitors a taste of what West Dean has to offer - for just a small additional cost on top of the price of entry.
A whole host of the UK's top chefs, bakers and chocolatiers are coming together for the Big Chocolate Brownie Bid, a mouth-watering auction in support of The Sick Children's Trust.
