This year the cooking demonstrations will take place across two stages within the Street Food Cafe area: the Marquee Stage and the Seafood Scotland Stage.
Some of the most distinguished chefs from our region will entertain and inspire us all as they create delicious dishes using the local produce from our area.
Demonstrations will run throughout the day and are free of charge - just come along and take a seat. At the Marquee Stage the comperes for the day will be Craig Wilson from Eat on the Green in Udny Green and Lauren Mitchell from "Jeff and Lauren" at North Sound 1, while the Seafood Scotland Stage will be hosted by John and Cat Franchetti.
