Foodie fans are hot footing it to Edinburgh’s Grassmarket this weekend for creative cooking capers involving Crepes, Pizzas and plenty of imagination!
Taking place along side the fabulous weekly Farmer’s Market, The Grassmarket Fun Foodie Day includes a Crepe Art event. This is your chance to create your own edible art works from humble crepe batter. Above are a few suggestions of Crepe Art provided by the Grassmarket team. If you are looking for your own inspiration, pop in to The Red Door Gallery on Victoria Street on your way there.
Artist Jo Robinson of HAM is expert at modifying a silouette to portray an action. A quick study of her line will help any budding crepe artist. See her full collection here to investigate how she tweeks her silouettes.
As part of Edinburgh Restaurant Festival, the mouth watering Mamma’s Pizza will also be hosting a Pizza Bar this Saturday in the Grassmarket. Famalies of all ages are invited to create [and eat!] their own pizza. Oh we do love a cheesey pizza packed with fresh, seasonal vegetables and maybe a little meat… For fab flavour combinations to feature on your pizza, have a peep at the Wit Shop recipe collection. Thoughtfully arranged into catagories [including: meat; fish; vegetables and herbs] these recipe cards are a design hybrid where greetings-card meets recipe-card with beautifull presentation.
The Pizza Bar and Crepe Art run from 11.30 – 3.30 pm on Saturday October 10th, look for the cheery yellow and white stripey tents in the Grassmarket. We will be there with our families as we’ve got to fill ‘The Great Brittish Bake Off’ void with something tasty and this sounds like the perfect foodie treat! Hope to see you there.
