Taste of London 2014

We here at The Amazing Blog  are always keen to tantalize our taste buds with new and interesting foods and flavours. Lucky for us, Taste Of London is back. We wrote about Taste of London back in 2011  so we were super excited to feature it again. A 5 day exhibition in Regents Park, the event sees restaurants, chefs and food lovers come together to share in culinary delights and an array of other frivolities, and we’ll certainly be joining them.

From the 18th to the 22nd of June, Regents Park will play watering hole to everybody who’s anybody in the London food world. A ticket entitles you to a four hour food adventure, where you can sample dishes from 40 of London’s finest restaurants. If tucking into delicious dishes isn’t enough for you, the festival also hosts a range of activities, such as a Sushi Masterclass, wine and cheese pairings, and the chance to taste a variety of beers. Eric Lanyard and Michael Roux Jr are just a couple of the famous faces that will be there to share their love of food with you foodie heaven.

We all have our favourite restaurants, weather it’s the little place round the corner, or the expensive anniversary-only restaurant in the heart of London. However, we also all know how great it is to find something new, exciting and that you really love! Taste of London is a great opportunity to do just that, as well as have a fabulous day out. With tickets costing around £25.80 for standard admission, make sure you book a slot for the biggest food festival of the social season. We feel like we’ve died and gone to food heaven.

Taste of London

Ready for a weekend of gastronomic delights? We deffo are and with rather handy timing Taste of London has rolled into Regent’s Park. Currently showcasing the best of London’s top eateries this alfresco gourmet feast is the perfect opportunity to sample renowned dishes from the likes of Scotts, Le Caprice, Petrus and Le Gavroche, to name just a few of the 40 there are to choose from.  To further add to the culinary delights there are 200 producers exhibiting a bounty of food and beverages, from top brands to artisan offerings. Get ready to shop and sample to your heart’s content.

The trademark small plates are back, no getting eyes bigger than our tummies here, the trick is to keep sampling and save room as you are always going to come across something else that you just have to try. The dream tasting menu just goes on and on; Rhodes' famous Jaffa Cake Pudding, Roux's Lobster and Truffle Cocktail, ORA's Sticky Rice with Thai Honey Mango and Skylon's Butter Poached Lobster being just a few of the tantalising dishes on offer.

If you are looking for a side of exclusivity with your Taste of London experience we suggest opting for tickets that allow access to The Laurent Perrier Secret Garden. New for 2011 this little hidden gem offers respite from the crowds as well as fine foods, drinks, entertainment and top chefs.

If you fancy doing something other than eating your way around the festival head over the one of the theatres for a masterclass from some of the top names in food. Other masterclass attractions include Jamaican cuisine, beer and tapas matching and the best in baking – something for everyone we think. We will be making a beeline for the La Pâtisserie Peugeot theatre at 2:50pm tomorrow to see our fave chocolatier, Marc Demarquette, showcasing his talents.
