Tony Alberti, known for his bold approach to Italian cuisine, will be sharing his culinary expertise.
Marni Xuto, a recipe developer for BBC Food and Delicious magazine, will also be appearing.
She said: “I want people to understand that Thai food is easy, and you just need a few store cupboard essentials, such as Thai fish sauce, good quality coconut milk and oyster sauce which form the basis of many delicious dishes.”

He said: “This is so exciting for me.
“I can’t wait to share my passion with the crowds at the Great British Food Festival.
“To have that live feedback from an audience is priceless.”
