BBC Good Food Show Harrogate

Don't forget the BBC Good Food Show Spring is being held in Harrogate from 8-10 April.  There will be a variety of Yorkshire based companies there - the press release below details four that will be in attendance.

The stand out company of the four for me would be the fudge one, Phil and I are huge fudge fans, and I most definitely want to try that raspberry prosecco one!

York & Dulgent Fudge:  A growing York business, owned and run by married couple Helena and Phil Wiggins. Being a creative person Helena felt unfulfilled as a solicitor, so she left law and developed marketing skills to combine with her husband’s drooling passion for fudge. Since their first sales on a York Christmas Stall in 2014 selling the Creamy Classic, the company has blossomed as more recipes developed from Raspberry Prosecco to Cheese & Walnut fudge. They now exhibit at various events around the country as well as making and selling their products as wedding favours and to delis, bars and shops.

She makes her products in her converted garage, where she only uses locally sourced ingredients. She will be appearing at the Show as a 2015 BBC Good Food Show Bursary Award Winner, where she was selected from other outstanding artisan food and drink producers from around the UK, by a team of experts who felt the natural and scrumptious flavours of her products deserved to be recognised.
