AN exciting line up of chefs and food writers are on the menu of delights to be found at Narberth Food Festival next month.
Among those signed on to participate in the two-day event are festival patron Angela Gray and former Great British Bake Off contestant Michelle Evans-Fecci.
They will be among a roster of top names sharing their knowledge and expertise and talking about their latest projects when the festival returns after a two year break on September 24 and 25.
Michelle Evans-Fecci, who now lives near Tenby, grew up on a farm where she learned the basics of cooking, baking and vegetable growing from her parents.
On the popular TV baking show Great British Bake Off she was known for her flavoursome, colourful bakes and for championing locally-sourced seasonal produce.
She had a lifelong dream to write her own recipe book and The Seasonal Baker, her first cookbook, is full of tasty seasonal recipes for the whole family to enjoy.
