Jean-Christophe Novelli began his career at the tender age of fourteen as a baker in his home town of Arras, Northern France. His life changed completely in 1983 when he arrived in Great Britain and spent a year taking care of Keith Floyd’s pub, The Maltsters. In 1996, he opened four restaurants in London and began his internationally based mini-empire.

Joining Jean-Christophe and holding exciting cookery demonstrations, over the two-day festival will be Karen Wright of Great British Bake Off fame, plus chefs Tosin Dayo-Oyekole and Tim Bilton.

Now in its fourth year Flavours Food Fest will be returning to Elsecar Heritage Centre. The unique historical site will be transformed over the weekend into a bustling marketplace.

With a variety of local and national producers on show, the centre will offer a wide range of tasty treats and delicious beverages.
