Recently, our Year 11 GCSE Food students had the fantastic opportunity to attend the 30th annual Ludlow Food Festival. The weather was kind to us, offering perfect conditions for a day full of learning and exploration.
Students were able to sample a variety of local produce, ranging from artisanal cheeses to freshly baked goods, gaining firsthand insight into the region’s culinary heritage. The historic Ludlow Castle provided a stunning backdrop to the lively festival, where people from all of the region could enjoy live cooking demonstrations, talks from food writers or get hands-on with craft and food and drink workshops.
Amongst the wide array of culinary delights on offer, students were particularly amazed to discover a vibrant purple cauliflower, sparking curiosity and discussions about different varieties of produce.
The day was very educational and inspiring for our budding chefs, reinforcing their knowledge of food heritage and sparking new and creative cooking ideas.
