EXETER College students held a Ready Steady Let’s Cook demonstration at the region’s biggest food and drink festival recently.

The fourth Exeter Festival of South West England Food and Drink attracted more than 15,000 food lovers to Northernhay Gardens on the weekend of March 30 – April 1.

Top attractions were food demonstrations from some of the region’s best known chefs including Michelin-star holder and former Exeter College student Michael Caines, who helped establish and develop the prestigious festival. Another crowd puller was the cookery theatre in the fun marquee which featured a demonstration with catering students from Exeter College. After an official opening by celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, the budding chefs wowed audiences with their cooking flair preparing dishes such as scallops on a bed of linguine and chicken and asparagus.
