Local Ingredients and Legendary Flavours Are the Recipe for Wimborne Food Festival
MasterChef contestant and full-time doctor George Williams
MasterChef contestant and full-time doctor George Williams will be hosting a Dorset-inspired cookery demo at this year’s Wimborne Food Festival on Saturday 20th September. Don’t miss your chance to see this inspiring local talent dish out flavour-filled ideas at one of Dorset’s most delicious events of the year.
Known for his poise under pressure, George will be performing a live cookery demonstration celebrating the very best of Dorset’s local flavour.
Using ingredients sourced from Wimborne’s local shops, George will showcase three quick and easy late-summer recipes, each cooked using a different kitchen essential: a sizzling creation from the frying pan, a flavour-packed oven-baked dish and a speedy, wholesome air fryer special.
From seasonal vegetables to artisanal goods, each recipe reflects the festival’s theme of supporting local producers and local food and drink businesses.
The keen chef, who runs supper clubs and private dining events says: “It’s been a joy to connect with so many wonderful independent food and drink retailers around Wimborne to create these Dorset dishes.”
George will also share stories from the MasterChef kitchen, including why medicine is less nerve-wracking than being a TV contestant! Audiences can expect culinary tips, real-life anecdotes and a taste of George’s signature humour.
Wimborne Food Festival is organised by Wimborne BID and Dacombes of Wimborne with a host of free culinary talks, cooking demos, foodie stalls and live music around the town from 11am until 4pm. Venues include Willow Walk near Waitrose, Wimborne Square, Minster Green and Church Street and East Street which will be closed to traffic for café culture and pop-up events.
A free festival programme with full timetable will be available from local businesses and East Dorset Information Centre on the High Street.
