Use your loaf: the first ever Real Bread Festival launches in London


2 July 2012

A celebration of Real Bread and Baking will be coming to London’s Southbank
Centre from 5-7 October.

In association with the Real Bread Campaign, and organised by Yael Rose,
Festival Director for the popular Cheese & Wine, Tea and Coffee and The
Chocolate Festivals, The Real Bread Festival will follow Yael’s existing
model, creating a fun and informative environment that allows visitors to
not only shop and learn, but also to speak and interact with some of
Britain’s best bakers, including Richard Bertinet, Rose Prince, Andrew
Whitley and more.

Divided into various zones to cover different aspects of Bread making, areas
include ‘Breads of the World’, ‘Gluten Free’ and a children’s area, which
will feature Pizza making with Brockwell Bake: children will get the chance
to process sheaves of wheat through from threshing to winnowing to milling
and sieving to dough mixing and finally baking.

A series of free tutored tastings, talks and demonstrations will be
available in the Real Bread Cookery Theatre, coordinated by renowned chef
and culinary expert Valentina Harris. Topics will include ‘Bread making:
facts and myths’, ‘Bread and food matching’ and the ‘Bread Masters’, which
will introduce some of the UK’s experts, who will be able to guide, advise
and inspire visitors to get baking, as well as taking part in a ‘Baker’s
Question Time’ which will allow visitors to get help with any baking related
conundrum.

Speakers taking part in the talks and demos include Trine Hahnemann, author
of The Scandinavian Cookbook and The Nordic Diet, Rachel de Thample, author
of Less Meat More Veg and Maunika Gowardhan, Indian food specialist and
author of the blog cookinacurry.co.uk.

A range of exhibitors will offer baking essentials, as well as a collection
of freshly baked breads, cheeses, charcuterie, jams and cider, perfect for
an ‘ambling picnic’. Hot food based on bread and sweet food made with flour
and water such as churros and doughnuts will offer a sweet ending to a great
day out.

A full list of all events and exhibitors will be announced on The Real Bread
Festival
