Gefiltefest, the UK’s only Jewish food festival, will be held on Sunday May 19th 2013 at Ivy House – the former home of the ballerina Anna Pavlova and now the home of the London Jewish Cultural Centre.
The festival will feature live cooking demonstrations, lectures, tastings, workshops and stalls – there will even be a discussion on whether or not locusts are Kosher and a sampling of chocolate-covered locusts.
In addition, the winners of the 2013 Jewish Food Awards will be announced at the festival. Now in its third year, voters select the best UK offerings in a range of classic categories including Best Kosher Bagels, Best Falafel, Best Kosher Restaurant and Best Cheesecake. There will be an expert panel conducting a blind tasting of bagels and challah, chocolate making, spice tasting, pickling and curing demonstrations. An Ashkenazi vs Sephardi cook-off – judged by award-winning chefs and writers Giancarlo Caldesi and Clarissa Hyman.
