For the third Latitude running, Real Bread bakers will be opening the stage on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday over the weekend of 23-25 July. They will be demonstrating techniques and taking questions from the audience.
In addition to her demo, the first official outing for one of the new batch of Real Bread Campaign ambassadors, Cindy Zurias will also be a panelist for a discussion of non-commodity grains and pulses.
Campaign coordinator Chris Young, who will be MCing the demos and moderating the panel discussion, said: “It’ll be very strange to be in a field with so many people again but we look forward to seeing our Theatre of Food friends and festival-goers who come to our sessions.”
