We caught up with our Wimborne Food Festival headliner, Maggie Richardson, with a few questions about food and life...

What’s your go-to meal to cook on a day off?
My quick, go-to comfort food is Risotto.

Who does the cooking at home?
I live alone so I do!

What do you love about Wimborne?
I love Wimborne for the local vibe and friendliness and the great variety of shops.

If you were stranded on a desert island which cake would you bring with you?
Dorset Apple Cake to remind me of home

Which other bakers do you admire and why?
Don’t tell him but Paul Hollywood. His books are fool proof.

Cooking/baking implement you can’t live without?
Couldn’t manage without my accurate weighing scales.

What are you looking forward to most about Wimborne Food Festival?
I love the Wimborne Food Festival because of the relaxed friendly atmosphere and super location. I’m delighted to be invited back.

We asked Colin Nash a few questions about life and food... Colin is giving a demo at Wimborne Food Festival on 19th September!

Do you have any pets?
Yes , we have two dogs, a cocker spaniel called Woody and a cockapoo called Hudson. Both mental but love them to bits.

What’s your go-to meal to cook on a day off?
I love to eat something I don’t cook myself, I love an Indian with garlic naan bread oh and a nice cold beer.

Who does the cooking at home?
Juliette does the cooking; I always get a surprise as she never tells me what we are having. It tastes better when you don’t cook it yourself.

What do you love about Dorset?
I love Dorset, there is always something going on. We are all very lucky to have glorious beaches, and the New Forest on our doorstep. No better place on earth.

What’s your favourite Cheese?
Isle of Wight blue and the cheese from Book and Bucket cheese company. Delicious and local.

Which other chefs do you admire and why?
Raymond Blanc is my favourite. Not just a great chef but a great man without the big ego of some chefs. He has earnt the respect of many great chefs and rightfully deserved. Locally I admire my team of chefs, you can taste the passion in their creations.

What are you looking forward to most about Wimborne Food Festival?
I am looking forward to my first year here, I want to visit the farmers market, soak up the music and try some local artisan foods. Really excited to be involved.
