We welcome Lee-Anna Rennie-Johnson, also known as the Dairy Maid, as one of our tutors. Lee-Anna has worked in the dairy industry for over 15 years and trained as a cheese maker at the leading School of Artisan Food, before working for the School managing and teaching their dairy courses. She now runs a dairy consultancy looking after all elements of cheesemaking, artisan production & retail. When not in the dairy she can be found relaxing with her family in the Worcestershire countryside. Lee-Anna will offer Ice-Cream Making, Cheese Making and Butter making daily at the festival.
Viki is another great tutor who will bring her specialist baking knowledge and love of pasta to our Children’s cookery sessions. Viki is the owner of Twiddle Food based in Sheffield, a mum of two girls and a self-taught chef. (Also, a manager of a large team at a global law firm – part time, Twiddle is her passion child) She grew up in Hungary and so likes to add a Hungarian twist to her recipes. Twiddle was born in 2019 as a result of having a very fussy child. To improve her daughter’s diet, she not only made everything from scratch but started to learn more about nutrition and tried many different techniques to get her daughter to eat better. Seeing her appetite growing while enjoying cooking and baking with her in the kitchen, it gave me Viki the idea to teach children and help other families too. Viki will offer Chocolate Biscuit Rolls, Gnocchi Making and Pasta Making.
We are following COVID measures and will be working in a well ventilated marquee. We ask everyone to follow guidance and respect social distancing. The team will have clean stations and we will be cleaning between session, kids with have aprons and hand cleaning prior to getting started. Hand sanitiser will also be available.
