Thousands of food lovers flocked to Brean Leisure Park, near Burnham-On-Sea, this week for the annual Somerset Food Fayre.

They performed several cookery workshops in front of large crowds over several hours. There was also a local produce market, trade stands and free food tasters.

Martin Blunos encouraged the crowds to buy local produce, saying: “Why both something that’s travelled half way across the world when we can buy it locally?”

As well as her regular appearances on Ready Steady Cook, Lesley Waters has presented Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook and made guest appearances on Food & Drink.

Ed BainesEd Baines is one of Britain’s most successful young chefs, with several thriving restaurants to his name. He regularly appears on UKTV’s food programmes.

And Michelin-starred chef Martin Blunos has appeared on several TV shows, including UKTV’s Good Food Live! and Channel Five’s Britain’s Worst Cook where he taught his cooking philosophy.
