Exeter Food Festival

Last Sunday went down to Exeter to there food fair to do some food research. The weather was lovely, and there was some brilliant stalls there, and everyone was making a huge effort with there products. Also made a change that there was a big variety of stalls this time as sometimes i feel like its just cheese and chutney and sausages on sale. Here there was: Oils,dressings,chutneys (of course) , variety of wines, cider, bread, ice cream, granola, meats, veg and much more.
This girl is 15 and has set up her own business and cooks all her own granola. She thought up her business when she was 14 because she didn't like having the same cereal day after day. I was just impressed by her motivation at such a young age, and to be there by herself selling her products.

I loved this companies product. It is one of the best rapeseed oils I have tasted unfortuantly they only supply Devon area at the moment but they are looking to come up to the south west soon. So look out for them or contact them http://www.bellandloxton.co.uk/

Marylebone Market & Spitalfields Market

Marylebone Market is on a Sunday and is full of delicious healthy looking food. There wasn't as many stalls for the reason being its January but we thought we would take a look while we were in the area. And we were really impressed by the quality of the stalls there, especially the salad stand, I know sounds strange but all these different salad leaves some I haven't heard of before and with their own unique flavour. Gorgeous! I am waiting for a few more weeks because I am looking forward to going back to see what other delicious things will be there.

We also went to Spitalfields Market (below pictures) it is more ready to eat food stands rather than farmers market. And there is every food of the world there: Mexican,Jamaican, Ethiopian, French, Italian,Thai,Chinese, Japanese etc. This is a great place if you don't know what you fancy eating because you can have a bit of everything. And everything we had was excellent!! Spitalfields is a huge market full of clothes,art and interiors, but you will find the food stalls at the end of the Truman Brewery warehouse.




This looks horrible but was lovely. Its a Japanese omelette, full of mixed shredded vegetables with cheese and a Japanese glaze on top. Yummy.
Below is our jerk chicken and what is left of some Jamaican goat curry.
