A Day at The Redruth Book Feast

What a day we’ve had!
First was the Saturday Brunch debate, all about food and food production in Cornwall. The Breakfast in a Bap from The GrowBox  was delicious and followed by an excellent debate with really knowledgeable people – a very young food writer, Fliss Freeborn , Graham Harvey, the agricultural story editor for the Radio 4 serial The Archers and the author of books including The Killing of the Countryside and The Carbon Fields, and one of The Bearded Farmers, local food producers. The debate, both enjoyable and informative, became quite lively. It was chaired by Orlando Murrin, a very experienced cookery writer and a semi-finalist on MasterChef some years ago. .

I loved the afternoon session too and before the last talk had already bought myself a cookery book (I have well over a hundred but can’t resist another good one!) This one is Two’s Company by Orlando Murrin and I have already marked a good number of recipes that I plan on trying.

After Orlando Murrin’s conversation with Tim Hubbard, the last session of the day,  I was also won over by his first novel , a culinary crime story. I’ve read the first chapter while the FA semi final was playing and I’m loving it! (One for you to borrow, H?) It includes recipes too!

Signed copy 🙂

And there’s more tomorrow! We are so lucky to live in Redruth.
