August 2006: the FIRST Edinburgh Food Festival
It's time that good food was up there with jazz, comedy, film, literature and all the other fine arts that we call culture and CELEBRATED with its own festival. What better place to do it than in Edinburgh, the festival capital of the world, and what better time than August, when the city is full to bursting with hedonists and culture lovers from all over the world? We're not limiting ourselves to two senses, however! As well as the fabulous tastes and appetising smells from freshly cooked delicious food, we've got great live music, a daily market, a resident poet to stimulate your brain cells and we're organising conversations and demonstrations that you can just drop into.
If you are interested in knowing more about this, or perhaps participating in some way, please contact Andy Williamson by email, or on 07980 680052.
If you would just like to sign up to our mailing list, then send a mail to info@edinburghfoodfestival.com.
