welcome

Held at Snape Maltings, amongst the historic buildings and timeless landscape of reeds, woods and water, the Festival is a wonderful celebration of the quality and variety of the region’s food and drink. With over 100 exhibitors taking part, across the two days you can enjoy the sights, tastes and aromas of the very best produce on offer.

There are also two demonstration stages where you can watch exciting dishes come together, with globally renowned chefs using local ingredients, while during the Masterclasses they share their culinary secrets. We are delighted that the Suffolk Young Producers group continues to grow and flourish, the Hillfarm Family Meadow looks set to be as popular as ever and the new Adnams Drinks Experience is sure to be a crowd pleaser. We have always believed in the importance of recognising the strong connection between the food we eat, the people who produce it and the land and sea from where it is sourced, and so new for this year we are introducing a ‘Wild Suffolk’ area to the Festival. Plus, don’t forget that after the Festival weekend, The Fringe offers a fabulous feast of foodie events hosted by farms, restaurants, pubs, producers and chefs throughout September and October.

We would like to thank everyone who has helped make this event one of the friendliest and largest food festival in the country, especially our sponsors and the Friends of the Festival, Archant, BBC Radio Suffolk, Snape Maltings and its staff – and of course you, our visitors, who we look forward to welcoming.

Lady Caroline Cranbrook President, Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival

New for 2 017

A spectacular new area within the festival, bringing together all the elements from sky, sea and land – things that all go to make up our wonderful ‘Wild Suffolk’.

A glorious feast for all the senses: sight, smell, sound, taste and touch.

It’s not just ‘rabbits and foraging’, more a melting pot of all the wild things involved not only in our food & drink, but also our art, literature, science and nature.

What can you expect?

Street Food Legendary Pigeon Burgers, Fresh Mackerel baps, Hedgerow drinks and more…

Demonstrations and masterclasses In and around the camp fire, spontaneous ‘Cook-up’s’, a ‘Shrimp peel-off’ and a ‘Partridge Pluck-off’. Learn from some of the masters of the wild.

Producer Stands The Wild Meat Company & Maximus Sustainable Fishing Food Writers Corner Where many of our local bloggers and writers will gather to talk about their work and its links to many of the wild things.

Fish Box An impromptu ‘stage’ where anyone can ‘wax lyrical’ about their chosen food passion… or just to get something off their chest!

HQ This woodland space is the HQ (Hedge-Quarters) for Vivia Bamford’s Sciapod forays, where you will find her mind mapping and researching her foraged finds.

Plus a whole host of ‘wild wizards’ cooking, talking and sharing their knowledge.

Wild Suffolk – It’s all around us 10

Iken Old Cow – Beef for Meat Geeks…

What is ‘old cow’?

If you’ve ever eaten a memorably good piece of beef in northern Spain, there’s a good chance that it came from an old dairy cow. In the Basque country, meat from retired dairy cows is highly prized: let loose for between 4 to 17 years on pasture in order to improve meat quality.

This – when most of the beef we eat in the UK is slaughtered at up to 20 months – produces a very special, slow-grown beef that is speckled with rich yellow fat and has a stand-out flavour.

Why ‘Iken’ not ‘Basque’?

Gerard first tasted Basque old cow when he lived in Spain and the memory of its wonderful deep flavour and rich, but well-distributed, creamy fat stayed with him. Now award-winning butcher and owner of Salter & King, he set about working with Iken-based farmer, Natasha Mann, to develop a local equivalent and ‘Iken Old Cow’ was born: special meat from Lincoln Red traditional breed cows, which have had between 4 and 12 years grazing.

Is it worth the wait?!

Iken Old Cow has quickly gathered a die-hard fanbase. The depth of flavour is exceptional – accentuated by the extra long dry-hang that Gerard gives each carcass. ‘There’s something wonderful about being able to grow Suffolk’s own, traditional-breed version of Basque beef,’ says Gerard. ‘Specialist beef, raised by a trusted farmer, in an area of outstanding beauty and sold less than a mile away from where it was born. You can’t get better than that.’

To be put on the list for the next Iken Old Cow, please contact Gerard, at gerard@salterandking.co.uk, call 01728 452758 or call in on Aldeburgh High Street.

You can buy Salter & King meat on line at www.salterandking.co.uk Delivery nationwide.

We’re pretty serious about food here at Suffolk Salami Co. We believe the quality of our products relies on healthy, happy pigs. Keeping the pigs in family groups as they grow is just one approach we take in working towards the highest animal welfare standards. We’re also proud to be members of the RSPCA Freedom Food Scheme.

Suffolk Salami is part of Lane farm Country Foods. We are a second generation family-run farming business in the small village of Brundish in Suffolk. Don’t be fooled by its sleepy reputation though, over the last 30 years our product range has expanded and today includes Fresh Sausages, Bacon, Ham together with Salami, Chorizo and Air dried Pork Loin.

Celebrating over 70 years of bread making, The Cake Shop in Woodbridge has all the Wright ingredients…

Bread has been a part of human civilization for thousands of years; it has sustained empires, caused wars and continues to bring people together. In recent years, bread in general has lost a key ingredient, one that we have preserved. Time. It takes time for flavours to fully develop, unlocking essential nutrients and at The Cake Shop Bakery, a family run business, we have been producing hand-crafted bread and cakes since 1946.

Proving Constant Skills have been handed down through three generations of The Wright Family; our bakery is the oldest business in Woodbridge, built on the pillars of Quality, Community, Value and Family and our philosophy has always been one of constant learning. Every day the bakery changes by a small amount and we always aim to make things better in any way we can. It is because of this that we are and we will always try to serve our customers as best we can.

Catering for Celebrities and You! As well as baking a wide range of artisanal breads and savoury products, our bakery has a long history of creating beautiful cakes. We use the best ingredients available and take great care in designing cakes that are visually stunning and taste delicious, and enjoyed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Chelsea Flower Show, Harrods and Selfridges. Moreover, we don’t just bake for the shop: we cater for functions of any size. Popular items include cake canapés, savouries, sandwiches and desserts, with everything made on site and a delivery service available. Why not pop in and see what we do whilst savouring the Suffolk summer…

Fresh out of the oven! David Wright has been nominated as one of three finalists in the ‘Baker of the Year’ category in The Baking Industry Awards 2017

IS PROUD TO SUPPORT ALDEBURGH FOOD & DRINK FESTIVAL With two beach front hotels enjoying unrivalled sea views in Aldeburgh, a chic inn along the coast at Woodbridge, a Golf Club & Hotel with an award winning 18-hole course at Thorpeness and one of the finest hotels in the county at Lavenham, the TA Hotel Collection boasts some of the most luxurious hotels in Suffolk. Each with distinctively different characters, but they have one thing in common - they are all fantastic places to eat and enjoy the finest local produce.

Suffolk has the reputation of being amongst the country’s richest producers of great ingredients and the TA Hotel Collection chefs pay homage to this, working closely with suppliers and local fishermen to source the very best and freshest food available. Menus are created around produce from land and sea and, happily, guests make it clear that they think it’s wonderful.

34

Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival 2017

FIVE GREAT RESTAURANTS The AA two rosette Seafood & Grill and beachfront terrace at Aldeburgh’s chic Brudenell Hotel is one of those few special places where you can eat fresh fish and shellfish on a terrace overlooking the beach, with the sun on your back, watching the waves roll in.

Ben Hegarty, Head Chef, delights in indulging his guests with everything local seas can offer.

A short walk along the seafront leads to the White Lion Hotel where Sea Spice brings the diverse flavours of exotic Indian cuisine to Aldeburgh. Head Chef, Pratap Singh Rawat, makes the very best of Aldeburgh’s fantastic positioning for daily caught fish and local organic producers.

You can enjoy Sea Spice’s unique combination of modern and traditional cuisine at the festival - just look out for their stall.

The White Lion’s Brasserie Bleue is well-known for offering great value, beautifully cooked, classic dishes, served in relaxed and informal family-friendly surroundings.

Created by Head Chef, James Barber, menus are inspired by a modern desire to return to simple, ‘back to basics’ food, offering freshly prepared dishes in contemporary surroundings, matched with impeccable service. Enjoy simple food such as Suffolk chicken wrapped in bacon, with potato gnocchi, river Deben mussels and prime Suffolk steaks, all cooked to perfection with an exciting French twist. There’s also a choice of classics such as coq au vin and boeuf bourguignon.

A magnificent themed afternoon tea menu that changes monthly is part of the fun of eating here.

As well as being a popular evening hot spot with its stylish, glass-roofed bar, regular music nights, gorgeous cocktails and outdoor terrace, The Crown at Woodbridge has a strong food ethos reflected in its AA two rosette and Michelin recommendation.

Specially-crafted menus put together by Head Chef, Darran Hazelton, are a celebration of the county’s natural larder, with simple ingredients brought to life in his own unique style.

The grand Gallery Restaurant in the heart of The Swan at Lavenham Hotel & Spa offers exquisite British dining, set within medieval surroundings.

Head Chef, Justin Kett, pairs his expert training with a love for nature, creativity and exceptional British ingredients to craft an elegant and imaginative menu and dishes are beautifully presented and full of flavours from Suffolk and beyond.

COMING SOON Look out for the new steak house restaurant, opening soon at Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel.

Once again the Aldeburgh Bookshop will be bringing a selection of the top cookery titles for our visiting chefs to sign at the festival.

Twist Martha Collison Martha was the teen sensation on The Great British Bake Off who juggled egg whites and exams. In her book, ‘Twist’, she takes traditional methods and adds her own very special flavours and twists to make exciting new recipes.

Spice Layers of Flavour Dhruv Baker One of the most popular regulars at the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival, Dhruv Baker’s delicious, approachable recipes transform everyday ingredients through the power of spice.

Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival 2017

Basque Spanish Recipes from San Sebastian and Beyond José Pizarro José’s book celebrates the Basque way of life as well as its ingredients, from the big sharing plates that fill family tables to the bite-size portions known as ‘pintxos’, and Basque-style tapas such as ‘Lentils and Goat’s Cheese with Caramelised Walnuts’.

Mr Todiwala’s Spice Box Cyrus Todiwala With just ten key spices, Cyrus creates a world of 120 utterly delicious and accessible recipes, fusing India’s flavours with Western dishes.

Hibiscus Lopè Ariyo Discover fresh flavours from West Africa with the ‘Observer Rising Star of Food 2017’, Lopè Ariyo. An energetic and supremely talented cook, Lopè creates fresh, fuss-free meals that are full of flavour.

Trullo Tim Siadatan London restaurant Trullo is taking the food world by storm with modern Italian recipes with a British twist. Tim was the youngest head chef at Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen, and his style is the boldest of bold Italian cooking.

Chai, Chaat & Chutney Chetna Makan Great British Bake Off semi-finalist, Chetna Makan’s new book takes inspiration from the streets of India and creates recipes that are simple to cook at home.

The result is a completely fresh take on Indian cuisine – try ‘Sticky Bombay Chicken and sweet Carrot Halva’.

Healthy Baking Jourdan Bourke Jourdan’s nutritious, balanced food made with natural ingredients, hits all the contemporary buttons.

These mouth-watering recipes – from sourdoughs and savoury tarts to indulgent sweet treats, like Italian Strawberry and Chocolate Chunk – will reinvigorate your cooking.

Nanban Japanese Soul Food Tim Anderson Tim won MasterChef in 2011 and has gone on to work at Le Gavroche and the Fat Duck, before opening his own restaurant in Brixton.

Tim’s punchy, moreish comfort food is bursting with flavour; more in line with Japanese street food than the typical, austere Japanese restaurant cuisine.
