01:18Food is art, no word of a lie before us.
01:21Is it a Monet?
01:23What's this one? Monet?
01:24This is Van Gogh.
01:25I knew it was Van Gogh.
01:28What's your name, madam?
01:29My name's Freda State and I'm a food artist.
01:31You're no stranger to Ludlow Castle, are you?
01:33You did make a chocolate record that actually played previously, didn't you?
01:37I did, yes.
01:38Which was quite amazing, and we did that here at the castle.
01:41So what are you using for your palette of colours?
01:45Is it food then? Is that the deal?
01:48So this is buttercream.
01:51It's different colours of buttercream.
01:53And we're making an interactive Van Gogh.
01:58And how long do you expect this to take?
02:00I mean, you've set yourself a challenge.
02:01There's plenty going on here, isn't there, on this picture?
02:03Yeah, I was hoping to get this one done today, but we might be finishing it off tomorrow.
02:08And the idea is that people can come along, have a go,
02:11they can add their own blob of icing to the creation.
02:14People literally, it's interactive.
02:16People can come along and get stuck in, literally.
02:18We're inviting people to actually come on here
02:20and actually put their own blob of icing onto the artwork.
02:24Fantastic. Well, we'll let you carry on. Thank you, folks.
02:29How are you doing, guys? You okay?
02:31Yeah, very good.
02:32Where have you travelled from?
02:33Bristol.
02:34You've been to the show here before?
02:35Yes.
02:36Many times. I'm doing a demo tomorrow on the stage,
02:39making some fish over fire.
02:41So it's all about live fire cooking?
02:44It's all about live fire cooking.
02:45Why are you doing fish?
02:46I'm doing fish because I've just written a cookbook on barbecuing fish.
02:50What's the book called? Give us a shout.
02:51It's called Scorched.
02:52Scorched, cool.
02:53It's part of a trilogy.
02:54Yeah, yeah.
02:55The last one in the trilogy was charred, which is vegetables,
02:59and seared, which is meat.
03:01It's becoming increasingly popular, isn't it?
03:03This live fire barbecuing.
03:04Yeah, there's a lot of fire.
03:06And it's just a nice excuse to be outside.
03:09Yeah, totally.
03:10It's people like Jen that manage to open people's eyes
03:12to what open fire's capable of.
03:14Yeah.
03:15It's no longer just sausages and burgers.
03:17Exactly.
03:18The fish looks amazing.
03:19I can speak first hand for Jen's clams in cream and whiskey.
03:25It's good to have a friend like Jen, isn't it?
03:27Absolutely phenomenal.
03:28It's good to own Jen's books as well, to be perfectly honest.
03:31Is he on commission, Jen?
03:33Far from all knowledge.
03:34Well, have a great show, guys. Thank you.
03:36Thank you very much.
03:37Cheers, guys.
