A chef is teaming up with a cookshop to bring a flavour of Spain to a Dorset food festival next month.

Colm McKavanagh from Wimborne will collaborate with Salamander Cookshop for the Wimborne Food Festival on Saturday, September 19, which will feature a live Spanish cooking demonstration, exclusive promotions, and a special in-store event.

David Crossley, owner of Salamander Cookshop, said: "As an independent cookshop, we’ve been exploring alternatives to traditional non-stick surfaces and stock a wide range of products from major suppliers and artisan producers for customers to see, handle and discuss in-store."

Chef Colm, a former headteacher who trained at White Pepper Culinary School, will present Tricks with Tortilla, a live demonstration in the Dacombes of Wimborne Food Theatre Marquee on Willow Walk.

He will showcase a quicker method for preparing Tortilla Española and will use locally sourced ingredients.

Attendees will receive a voucher for 20 per cent off Circulon and Prestige ranges, plus entry into a prize draw.

From 11am to 2pm, Salamander Cookshop will host Chris Hoyle, representing Lékué, who will demonstrate how to make toasties using Lékué’s microwave grill.

Customers will also enjoy 10 per cent off all Lékué items purchased on the day.

Wimborne Food Festival is organised by Wimborne BID.
