Tasty summer festivals

Hurrah - the Taste festival is approaching!

If you've never been to or heard of this festival before, it's well worth a look. Leading restaurants each have a stand where they sell small 'taster' portions of three of their popular dishes - one of each course. The festival has its own 'currency' - Crowns - so you pay for everything beforehand and carry your vouchers around as if they're golden tickets!

There are also stands with free samples of cheese, wine, chocolate, fruit juice and other goodies, plus things to buy and read. I've only ever been to the London festival before, which is held in Regents Park and has a lovely summertime picnic feel.

It's a great way to learn more about restaurants you don't know and eat good food from those you already know and love. But beware the free alcohol if the sun's out!
