After such an awesome weekend at Feast festival, I hit up the twittersphere to find out what was the next foodie gathering in London. Secretly hoping for somewhere South (so it is easier to get to due to loads of weekend rail disruptions) I was tweeted by Sweet Tooth, asking me to come and try their brownies at MUNCH, a festival by Pexmas, in Peckham.
One of the first sellers I came across was Sophie from Sweet Food. Her cupcakes looked absolutely incredible, I couldn't help but take photos of the amazing colours, and the flavours were things like strawberry milkshake or rhubarb and custard. Amazing.
They make cakes for every occasion, and also to gluten and dairy free cakes. What's more they look spectacular.
From the top; Madagascan vanilla pod cupcakes, rhubarb and custard cupcakes, strawberry milkshake cupcakes.
Before we indulged in sweet treats, it was lunch time and I had been waiting a while to try out Fleish Mob. I spend a lot of time in Austria so love Austrian food, which made me all the more keen to try out the amazing schnitzel sandwiches on offer at MUNCH.
The schnitzel was so thin that it cooked quickly so was prepared to order. Served on rye sourdough with salad and home made chutney, absolutely divine.
My boyfriend decided to try something a bit different, and a gourmet haggis toastie definitely caught his attention. The girls at Deeney's were lovely, and definitely very Scottish - they even had deep fried Mars bars!
He went for the haggis toastie, with cheddar, caramelised onion, rocket and mustard and it was amazing... Not quite sure what we expected but it certainly wasn't anything like what he ended up receiving! I've never enjoyed haggis so much (from the pathetic bite I was 'allowed' to have...)
Next it was time for me to head to the Brownie Bar, by Sweet Tooth, where I was in store for some amazing cocktail flavoured brownies. Maria is a professional baker, and has her own kitchen where she cooks for cafes, restaurants, private clients and functions. She also bakes for her Brownie Bar, which was where she invited me on Sunday!
The brownies were awesome. They were so full of flavour, but there was definitely some dispute between me and my friends over which were the best. My favourites were the salted caramel (because I am always a sucker for it) and the mojito because the flavour and the balance between the mint and sugar was amazing. My boyfriend liked the peanut butter ones the best, and my housemate loved the pineapple chunks in the pina colada flavour.
They were very sweet so the small cubes were the perfect size. I will definitely be keeping up to date with where the Brownie Bar by Sweet Tooth will be in the coming months!
My other awesome MUNCH favourites were an Italian pasta, tortelloni and ravioli stand (I bought artichoke ravioli, and walnut and blue cheese... Dreamy.)
I also bought a smoked garlic which gives the most amazing flavours! I cooked an oozy mushroom and parsley risotto with it and the taste was fantastic.
Overall, MUNCH is a less-known food festival, but it was a hugely enjoyable day with lots of new vendors for me to try.
