STAR chef Jean-Christophe Novelli cooked up a storm as the Flavours Food Festival returned to Elsecar.

The Michelin Star chef and television personality gave two live cooking demonstrations to a packed crowd at Elsecar Heritage Centre, before getting amongst the crowd and sampling some of the produce on offer at stalls set out by local producers.

Also at the festival were the Pigott brothers, who featured in the BBC2 programme ‘The Great Family Cooking Showdown,’ and Mira Manek, who champions wellness and healthy eating with her Indian-inspired recipes, who each took part in their own live demonstrations.
