ENTERTAINMENT Food, more food, and yet more food. It's a food festival! But it's also a celebration of other things 'Gibraltarian'.
Whenever people have settled on this Rock of ours over the years (/centuries) they've brought with them their own foods and recipes from their homelands, but also their own arts & crafts. We think this has and continues to enrich our lives, and so Calentita celebrates our cultural diversity. On Saturday you'll be able to enjoy some of the best live music, dance, and entertainment on offer. Our craftsmen and women will also be out in force, so make sure you browse their stalls to take in their creativity.

DANIEL CHIAPPE - ROCK CHEF 2014 WINNER 9.30pm
SPOKEN WORD 8.15, 8.45, 9.15, 9.45pm Words - where would we be without them? Probably a cave. But thankfully, our ability to use language is such that we can discuss and share everything from minutiae to big ideas. Gabriel Moreno and Jonathan Teuma are local wordsmiths; poets who make an art out of stringing together words in just the right way to help us feel and understand. Come, listen.
ROCK CHEF In recent months, the Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses has again teamed up with GibMedia and GBC on Rock Chef. This was Series 2 and it saw keen amateur chefs go head to head in the kitchen. Under the guidance of professional chefs Vicky Garcia Bishop and Matt Birtwistle, 31-year-old accountant Daniel Chiappe emerged as the winner. Now, with the pressure off, Vicky, Matt and Daniel will join us to share some tips on how to be a chef on the Rock. VICTORIA'S CREATIVE CATERING / ROCK CHEF 8.30pm
EL CAPOTE FOOD & WINE NIGHTS 10.00pm El Capote's Ian Gareze & Chef Lede believe things in the kitchen should be done methodically but with flair. They've been capturing the imaginations of local foodies at their recent Food & Wine Nights. At Calentita expect a preview of their Food and Wine Nights menu for the summer, celebrating almadraba tuna. And wines to match! PEPE PALMERO 11.00pm Pepe became a household name with his TV show "Pepe's Pot". He's a real character, a passionate llanito! And he thinks young people aren't cooking enough calentita. So he's going to show us how it's done, in inimitable Pepe style, "for my mother".
