NIGEL BARDEN TO HOST AT ICE CREAM SHOW

TV and radio’s Nigel Barden will be hosting the Live Demo Area and the National Ice Cream Competition Awards at this year’s Ice Cream and Artisan Food Show in Harrogate.

This is the first time there has been a Live Demo Area at the UK’s only trade Show for the ice cream sector. Look out for stunning recipe demonstrations including American-style pancakes with homemade frozen yoghurt and warm berry hibiscus compote, Seaside-scape ice cream with bubble-gum, edible starfish, The Yorkshire Ice Cream Cocktail and much, much more.

Nigel will also present the awards to the winners of the annual National Ice Cream Competition which this year features a new category – ‘Alternatives’ – to encourage innovation and diversity, to reflect the ever-changing and new markets in the ice cream industry. This class includes a variety of products, such as those free from the top 14 allergens, dairy-free, low-fat, high-protein, no-sugar, frozen yoghurt and others.

on Scala Radio and previously with Simon and Chris Evans, on their Sony
