Hull Global Food Fest 2009
4th- 6th September 2009

Hull City Centre is set to host its third 3 day Global Food Fest from the 4th- 6th September 2009. With a main event stage, marquees and markets as well as a complete programme of entertainment, there really will be something for everyone.

There are some exciting changes to the festival site this year, which will include:

Family and Education Marquee
Food Innovation Marquee
Regional Food Village

Our celebrity chef this year is Antony Worrall Thompson who will be taking to the main stage on the Saturday of the festival, creating mouth-watering dishes and sharing his years of experience and knowledge of food.

Antony is one of the UK’s top celebrity chefs and is following in the footsteps of previous Hull Global Food Festival celebrities James Martin and Ainsley Harriott.

Once again, top chef Nigel Brown will be appearing at the festival, this will be the third year running Nigel has tempted the tastebuds of the people in Hull so be sure to catch one of his entertaining demonstrations. Yorkshire born Nigel runs his own cookery academy in North Lincolnshire and actively promotes the local sea fishing industry in partnership with the Yorkshire and Humber Seafood Group.

Last year’s event proved to be huge success once again with around 67,000 extra visitors flocking to the centre of Hull to grab a taste of the action. This year’s line-up of chefs, exhibitors, demonstrators and stall holders promises to be just as impressive, showcasing the best in local produce and global cuisine.

If all this were not exciting enough, there is an exciting twist to the 2009 event…

We are linking up with the Round the World Clipper Yacht Race, to mark the prestigious launch, which is being hosted by Hull this year. All of the Clipper crews will have a chance to sample a vast range of Global cuisine before they even leave our coastline, and we can’t wait to send them off in style!

For the duration of the festival, the centre of Hull will once again be transformed into a bustling hub of activity with several key locations hosting markets, demonstrations, speciality produce and, of course, giving away free samples!

The festival offers a great time for all the family, particularly with our new Family and Education Marquee. Our markets provide a range of products from around the world and the main stage programme, crammed top chefs, will provide visitors with expert hints and tips!

Using 1 whole chicken breast, cover with clingfilm or a freezer bag and flatten with a meat mallet. Remove the clingfilm and place the sliced ham over the surface of the raw chicken and season with the salt and pepper.

Remove the stalks from the spinach and cover the ham with the leaves.
Using the remaining half chicken portion, remove any sinew and place in a food processor along with either basil or tarragon and season and blend to a puree.
