The Yummy Food Festival – Celebrating healthy eating in Muirhouse
Building on the success of last year, this year’s yummy food festival will be bigger and better. Local people have risen to the challenge and will be showing off their skills with cooking demonstrations, foody stories, arts and songs and food growing demonstrations. Add local organisations, a politician, food groups from around Scotland and a top Scottish chef into the pot and you have a recipe for a great day.
Local people from around the world are giving the day an international feel. There will be Mexican chilli and Italian pasta, ‘a taste of the East’ and some good Scottish soup.
The Yummy Food festival organisers have been kneading it into shape at weekly bread making sessions and are now baking bread for local community cafes as a side line! They said: ‘We are delighted that so many local people and organisations are contributing to the day. It’s a real celebration of what people in Muirhouse can do.’
Lisa Arnott, Pilton Community Health Project said: ‘The Health project would like to congratulate the women on bringing together such a brilliant event. There will be something for everyone – face painting, cake stalls, arts and crafts and lots and lots of food to share! We look forward to seeing you there’.
The Yummy Food Festival will take place on Friday 15 March
from 12 – 5pm
