The Malton Food Lovers Festival has announced four consummate culinary Patrons for 2011, when the event is spread over the whole weekend of 21 & 22 May. They are:

Tom Parker Bowles, food writer and presenter of the Good Food Channel’s Market Kitchen; legendary television chef Brian Turner, Yorkshire’s culinary ambassador; Andrew Pern of The Star Inn at Harome and Rosemary Shrager, TV Cook and quintessential Cookery Course Grande Dame.

The support of four such exemplary food professionals further secures the Festival as one of Yorkshire’s premier food events. And whilst Brian Turner, Andrew Pern and Rosemary Shrager have their roots in Yorkshire, news of the success and passion behind the Food Lovers Festival also prompted Tom Parker Bowles, based in the south of England to add his support.

PLEASE NOTE - PATRONS WILL BE SIGNING BOOKS IN HOPPERS IN THE MARKET PLACE ON SAT 21 MAY
