Food Festivals

"I am completely ill equipped to give a masterclass" says that familiar voice. The disarmingly modest Nigella Lawson aka the Domestic Goddess enters the room. Everyone is atwitter and there is excitement in the air. Nigella's Masterclass, a coup for the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival and over a year in the planning comes at the end of a long day on the last weekend of the festival. For many it is the highlight of the 10 days with many travelling from all over Australia, myself included. I'm lucky enough to nab myself a seat in the front row with Nigella only metres away. Forget the haute couture front row, this is much better!
