Devon MasterChef Contestant Focuses Spotlight On The County's Culinary Highlights

ILFRACOMBE, U.K. - Nov. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- UK – Devon Master Chef contestant, Dawn Gribble has gone from being in the spotlight to shining it on the local establishments of Devon with her website www.atasteofdevon.co.uk

The online Food and Drink Guide not only provides articles, recipes and interviews  but features a growing directory of establishments that has generated a boost for local restaurants, chefs and artisan food producers.

One of the main aims of the website is to bring focus back to sustainability, while supporting, promoting and celebrating local businesses.

This Christmas, the team at ‘A Taste of Devon’ are producing a free eGuide, which will feature special offers, adverts and a range of menus.

Businesses who wish to be included in this Christmas eGuide will have their contributions seen by a targeted food-appreciative audience, as it will be distributed free to all online visitors, as well as being promoted across various social media channels. The deadline for inclusion is 30th November 2014.

‘A Taste of Devon’ has reached over 3 million people since its launch in July, showing the rising popularity of the Devon food and drink scene.

The website has featured several culinary talents, including: Glenn Cosby from The Great British Bake Off; Master Chef finalist Jack Lucas (who studied at Exeter University); Michael Caines MBE; and up and coming Ilfracombe based chef, Thomas Carr @ The Olive Room.

As well as interviewing world-class bakers and chefs, the websites offers: recipes, reviews, contests, news, blogs, special offers, podcasts and more – giving the viewer a well-rounded experience that’s designed to whet their appetite and create a genuine excitement to experience the local cuisine for themselves.

Glenn Cosby said "A Taste of Devon is a wonderful resource, sharing the stunning food and drink we are blessed with in Devon. It will become an invaluable site, both for locals and visitors."

‘A Taste of Devon’ is an unaffiliated website, which features a free directory of the independent and family-run Devon food and drink businesses as well as small to medium sized restaurants, cafes, pubs, hotels and other establishments that primarily serve homemade food.

Dawn and her team believe in supporting Devon businesses and believe that by promoting local industry there will be a positive impact on the economy, as well as family life for all involved.
