Despite having masses of cookery books, I seldom shine in the kitchen. Fortunately my OH enjoys cooking. Its about time I started getting more involved. What are your favourite dishes/recipes?

The Bolton Food & Drink wine Festival doesn't start until 23rd August, but the line-up for that weekend looks terrific.

The festival, which attracted more than 102,000 visitors last year, will be launched by the two-Michelin starred chef Michael Caines on the Friday, and fellow festival favourite James Martin will take centre stage on Bank Holiday Monday, August 26.

The Great British Bake Off cupcakejudges are back by popular demand after selling out their baking demonstrations and proving a hit at last year’s festival. Mary Berry & Paul Hollywood will perform their demos together on Saturday, August 24 in a dedicated marquee on Victoria Square.

Sunday’s star attraction will be top Italian chef and restaurateur, Aldo Zilli. Specialising in Italian and vegetarian cuisine, Aldo founded his own chain of restaurants, has written more than 10 books and has appeared on numerous television shows
