Last weekend courtesy of The Food Sauce I got to venture out to a fabulous little place in Soho called The Potato Project. I had a few strange looks when I told friends I was going to a potato event and I must admit I wasn’t too sure what to expect either. With Irish parents, potatoes have always been quite a fixture in our evening meals growing up however apart from eating sweet potato fries quite a lot I can’t say I eat potatoes all that much.

Carbohydrates and potatoes have been cast in a negative life in the last ten years and marketed as a cause to weight gain. When hoping to lose weight, the majority of diet plans will say cut out your carbs and potatoes however when it comes to healthy eating potatoes are actually extremely good for you in that not only are they nutritious but they are filling too.

Therefore the fact that there is now a company based in London that serves potatoes with a variety of different flavors along with delicious starters and a potato infused desert is a pretty special thing!

The UK’s largest celebration of food & drink returned last Saturday with a fantastic line up of top chefs including Matt Gillan, Stephen Crane and Adam Simmonds. Maz and I headed down on Sunday, arriving in the early afternoon to an already buzzing and busy festival. I attended the Kenwood Foodies Festival in 2014 which was a fabulous day out however there’s something a little magical with having a food festival by the sea. The big double decker bus bar was back serving lots of delicious beverages and opportunity to go upstairs and chill out on the comfy sofas. Pimms served their delicious fruity drink from a big pink teapot and there was a pirate ship serving mojitos and other rum cocktails.
