Fannys Foodies Festival Freebie

Fanny Cradock wasn't really known for giving things away for free... Let's just say she was generous in so many different ways, but why give something away for nothing if you could sell it? The weekly partworks were jammed full of 'special offers' on must-have kitchen equipment for all aspiring foodies. To tempt you even further Fanny supplied special tokens that you could collect and exchange for items from her Dream Kitchen range... Aspirational.

Whether it was that must have set of knives, salt and pepper grinders or a deep fat fryer she was curiously using a few pages back, if Fanny had a whiff of additional sales she was quick to swoop in. Thankfully I am slightly more generous. Although I say 'I' it is actually the good folks of the Foodies Festival who are being generous here not me. But of course I am being generous in sharing the opportunity to share in their generosity. Think of it as my way of making up for the Angry Chinese Men...

I have three pairs of tickets to the Edinburgh Foodies Festival at Inverleith Park from 7th - 9th August to giveaway. Free! Not sure what Fanny would reckon. Maybe I should've thought of a way that I could have sold them instead? Or ask you to collect tokens from my weekly blogs just to be in with a chance of winning them?

Foodies Festival is bigger and better than ever in this, it's TENTH Anniversary year in Edinburgh. You can read all about it here. If Fanny were around still, she would of course be appearing in person in the Chefs Theatre, she would have her assistants whipping up soufflés in the Street Food Avenue and poor Johnnie would be pushing the Dream Kitchen must-haves on the Cradock Stall in the Producers Market. I am sure it would all be renamed Fannys Foodies Festival, and quite right too.

If you want to be in with a chance to win a pair of the free tickets on offer, just complete the Rafflecopter thingy-me-jig below, which will select winners at random after the closing date of 27th July 2015 and keep your fingers crossed! If you are the less optimistic type you can buy tickets instead direct from the Foodies Festival. If you win, you don't *have* to speak me at the Festival, but I will be there enjoying it all again - watch out for more Fanny Foodies Fun blogs in coming weeks, all for free!
