Visitors can taste some amazing cheese and chillis, and discover how the two ingredients can be brought to life. The event is a collaboration between popular cheese club Homage2Fromage and the Chilli Shop. It is organised and run by Leeds Food and Drink Ltd. Today’s activities include a chance for youngsters to plant chilli plants in their own decorated pots, and demos showing them how cheese is made.
