We are bursting with excitement to announce that celebrity chef Dean Edwards will be joining us at the Risca Food FEASTival 2024 on Saturday 14th September to provide some captivating cookery demonstrations!
Best known for his cooking demonstrations on Channel 4’s Steph’s Packed Lunch, ITV’s This Morning and ITV’s Lorraine, Dean rose to fame in 2006 when he came second on BBC’s MasterChef (then titled MasterChef Goes Large). His cost-cutting, family-friendly recipes and accessible approach to cooking have made him a firm favourite with viewers.
As a bestselling author of six cookbooks, including Feelgood Family Food, Cook Slow, Cook Smart: Air Fryer and Cook Smart: Microwave, Dean’s smart approach to food and his accessible recipes have also helped him amass a huge social media presence, with over 1 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and YouTube.
Dean will be tantalising taste buds at this year’s Risca Food FEASTival with three 45-minute cookery demonstrations, each followed by a short meet-and-greet and book-signing session. Dean’s incredible cookbooks are available to purchase online and in many bookstores, so please feel free to bring along your own copy to be signed!
About joining the Risca Food FEASTival, Dean says,
“I am so excited to be heading to the Risca Food FEASTival, I cannot wait to come and cook for you all. I’ll be cooking some of my famous ‘Fakeaway’ recipes to hopefully inspire you to cook at home.”
We look forward to welcoming Dean to Risca – be sure to come along for a fantastic day of food and fun!
