It is just a week now since the Food Festival and it seems to have taken that long to recover from all the hard work of preparation.
The Food Presentation Demonstration went well. This photo shows the fruit platter which I put together. I hope that I convinced people that using hand made pots to present food can make a beautiful centrepiece for the table, with a minimum of effort.
Below is the salad platter which I made. Unfortunately, the photo was taken before the tomato and mozzarella had its final drizzle of olive oil and a scattering of basil leaves.
We enjoyed eating the completed dish that evening, with some hand-baked bread from one of the stalls at the festival. Tom's Pies provided a couple of delicious pies for the next meal and a spring posy of daffodils and assorted greenery from The Husbandry School has brightened up my table all week.
The Food Festival seems to get better every year. I just wish I had been able to see a bit more of it, but I shouldn't complain about having a busy showroom at this time of year.
I like that friut platter. I am definately going to copy that this Friday night. Just a pity I don't have one of your platters! I might just try to remember to photo it.
