The event served up a recipe for success, and with Summer sunshine thrown in for good measure, the festival was a sell-out as record numbers of visitors arrived at Inverleith Park to sample signature dishes from 14 city restaurants, learn tips from tops chefs and check out premier produce from Scotland’s finest food and drink suppliers.

Top TV chefs; Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Jean-Christophe Novelli, and local talent Tom Kitchin and Nick Nairn, were just some of the highlights of Taste of Edinburgh from Friday 29th May – Sunday 31st May.

Festival Director, Silvia Dorigo, says: "Since Taste of Edinburgh began in 2007, it has gone from strength to strength. This year was a record breaker for us; we were completely full on Saturday and had fantastic weather over the entire weekend.

“This year, we introduced a new Sunday evening session which proved to be a great success. There was a fantastic atmosphere as Edinburgh’s residents and visitors gathered to sample the city’s finest fare.”

The Taste of Edinburgh festival this year attracted over than 20,000 visitors over the weekend. Sun-seekers sipped their way through more than 3,000 Appleton Estate Mojitos, indulged in 2,500 Stewart Tower Dairy Perthshire ice-creams, munched 2,200 scallops from The Tower, as well as tasting thousands of signature dishes from 14 of Edinburgh's restaurants.
