Multi Michelin award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli will be headlining the Worcester festival on Saturday 1st August 2015. The ‘nation’s favourite French chef’ will be running free cookery demonstrations on the main stage in the High Street.
His passion for passing on his wealth of culinary knowledge to others led him to open his own cookery school, The Novelli Academy based in his personal kitchen at his Hertfordshire farm, which was voted amongst the ‘Top 25 Cookery Schools in the World’.
Jean-Christophe is very enthusiastic about healthy cooking, so make sure to see him at the Worcester Foodie Festival to find out more about replacing salt and sugar with his own unique flavours and reduce the amount of saturated fats whilst creating delicious recipes with his assistant chef and great friend Felice Tocchini from Fusion Brasserie, Worcester.
Over his illustrious career Jean-Christophe has written numerous books, with his latest book “Simply Novelli” being applauded by food critics around the world. Come and get your book signed at the Worcester Foodie Festival on Saturday. Simply bring your own copy or buy one at the event from the Waterstone’s stand next to the stage and meet Jean-Christophe after the demos.
Worcestershire based Fusion Brasserie chef Felice Tocchini will be taking the lead on the main stage on Sunday 2nd August 2015. Felice is passionate about using fresh, local produce to create delicious food with an Italian twist.
His creativity has resulted in him appearing on numerous TV programmes such as The One Show, Countryfile, and The Gadget Show, as well as in the media worldwide for his innovative creations such as Sprout Cake (a concept to encourage children to enjoy these much-maligned vegetables) and the Dunker – a biscuit designed to hold its own when dipped in tea… or champagne!
At present he is working at the acclaimed “Novelli Academy” one of the top 25 best cookery schools in the world alongside celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.
At the Worcester Foodie Festival Felice will be showing visitors how to make a variety of mouth-watering Mediterranean dishes, as well as his delicious summer pudding with basil and chocolate.
