Taking place at London’s Business Design Centre on 20-21 July, 2024's National Geographic Traveller (UK) Food Festival will bring together a stellar line-up of chefs on the Main Stage, including Sunday headliners Nisha Katona and Ixta Belfrage.
All set to prepare their signature dishes in the company of host April Jackson, this year's headline chefs will showcase the flavours of Italy, Brazil and beyond, offering food-lovers the chance to expand their repertoires with recipes from the world’s greatest culinary destinations.
