ABERGAVENNY FOOD FESTIVAL -
GWYL FWYD Y FENNI 18-19 September/Medi 2010

 First Guest Names Announced for 2010!

The Abergavenny Food Festival is delighted to welcome back Jekka McVicar, the Queen of Herbs. At Jekka’s Herb Farm near Bristol, Jekka and husband Mac have built an unparalleled reputation as the Uk’s leading growers of organic herbs.  Jekka is herb ‘guru’ to many top chefs, including Jamie Oliver. Look out for Jekka’s Herb Cookbook which comes out in June.

Take tea and sandwiches with food writers Helen Saberi and Bee Wilson while they discuss Tea and Sandwich – their new additions to the delightful ‘Edible’ series of food memoirs published by Reaktion Books.

We are really looking forward to welcoming Jose Pizarro, the Spanish chef from rural Extramadura, who is the culinary wizard behind Borough Market legend  Brindisa’s highly successful foray into a trio of London eateries.

We’re also delighted to announce that the 2010 festival (18 & 19 September) will see the start of a partnership with Fork – the real food magazine.  Intriguing content, stunning photography and top-end design really makes this magazine stand out from the crowd.  Fork will be publishing a one-off special publication at the festival to focus on the event itself, including interviews with participating celebrity guests – some of the brightest lights of the food world.

Editor Mark Taylor says: “Fork and Abergavenny Food Festival are the perfect culinary match –  celebrating skill, passion and creativity.  We are flattered to be linked with the UK’s best food festival and there is a lot of synergy between the two.  We both stand for quality, integrity and passion when it comes to good food and we will produce a festival magazine that reflects this”.

This AFF Special will give lots of added value to you our visitors, and will include promotions that can be taken advantage of on the spot.  In addition, there will be a raffle for all purchasers, with a truly fantastic Grand Slam of a foodie prize.  More to be revealed at a later date.  If you live in Wales you’ll be interested to know that Fork will also be launching its first Welsh edition in September.

A year’s subscription to Fork (bi-monthly) is just £12.00 and includes free Rude Health porridge! Irresistible.     http://www.forkmagazine.com
