TRANSFORMED EATING HABITS AT THE CHILDREN’S FOOD FESTIVAL

 

 

Glorious sunshine, a stunning location and the promise of a huge variety of gastronomic treats brought over 14,000 families flocking to the 2009 Children’s Food Festival on June 27 and 28.

 

The 2009 Children’s Food Festival, held this year at the Northmoor Trust estate and farm in an area of outstanding beauty, was a resounding success with parents, who were delighted to see their young ones eager to try out new foods and recipes.

 

Possibly the most popular attraction was The Chocolate Tent – where leading chocolatiers dazzled audiences with their artistry and distributed all flavours of chocolate with extraordinary generosity.  

 

More than 20 top chefs and cookery writers – including Patrons Raymond Blanc and Sophie Grigson – gave talks and hands-on demos. TV’s Stefan Gates even got children eating fried grasshoppers.

 

Amongst the other original offerings were: The Vegetable Orchestra, the Pizza Midwife, the Eat a Rainbow Every Day drama and a chance for children to be filmed by the BBC as pretend celebrity chefs.  

 

Film actress Greta Scacchi, BBC Radio 4’s Food Programme’s Sheila Dillon and teenagers took part in a lively debate about whether celebrities should promote junk food.

 

Festival Director Eka Morgan said, “We have been overwhelmed with highly positive feedback from happy parents. Our hope was that whichever way you looked in the Festival fields there would be something compelling to do – and that really was how it turned out.”

 

Zita from Oxford was one of the many who have already expressed their enthusiasm to the Northmoor Trust:

 

“The food festival was more than fabulous. Amazing! We all had such fun and my boys took away loads of goodies for their vegetable patch. Thank you beyond words – chocolate heaven as well.”

Bonn Square

Just been to Bonn Square on this lovely summer’s day, it is great to see how
people are enjoying this newly improved social public space. There are tourists
resting their tired feet, others reading books, families meeting before going
off to have a meal, perhaps at one of the marvellous restaurants at Oxford
Castle. At last Oxford has its own pleasant public  space which is away from
the traffic.
