I went to three free cookery demos.
And sampled food at all of them. Very, very good - this place is great when the sun shines!
I especially enjoyed the Italian cookery demonstration; a Sardinian chef who makes his own cheese (it's entered into the Great North Show which I'm going to next week). A marvellous blue ewe's cheese.
The restaurant/ cafe across the street were also giving out free samples. Really good food. Although the tiny hidden pieces of cucumber in the marinated salad repeated on me all afternoon, reminding me of why I don't eat it.
I think it was a great success.
