exhibition of sixteenth century cookbooks. But the Sheffield Food Festival, taking place from 4-10 July, is about much more than enjoying fabulous gourmet food. It is part of a wider piece of work at Sheffield City Council on the Food Plan which aims to tackle issues from access to healthy food in the city, to encouraging businesses and residents to support
local food producers, to improving opportunities for community food growing in the city over the next three years. Councillor Helen Mirfin-Boukouris, Sheffield City Council’s Cabinet Member for Business, Jobs and Growth, Culture and Sport, said: “Sheffield Food Festival is bringing together over 100 organisations and is
destined to attract over 40,000 visitors to the city in an array of fantastic events that will whet the appetite and stimulate the senses. This will bring the important work of the Food Plan alive, and I hope that as well as enjoying some wonderful tastes and experiences, people will come away having picked up new skills and knowledge to help them enjoy healthy food.

“The Food Plan covers everything from good food in schools, to building links between Sheffield growers and big consumers like the Council and hospitals, to potentially using derelict land in the city for food growing. The Festival is a brilliant way to get people in Sheffield thinking about food, and the many ways it impact on our lives.”
Niki Baker, from the Sheffield Business School at Sheffield Hallam and one of the Festival organisers, said: “The festival puts Sheffield at the centre of the world stage for all types of food thrills. We have something to appeal to every palette from fine dining to foraging. There will be plenty of opportunities to tickle your taste buds too.”
