TASTY culinary delights were specially cooked up to launch this year's Hampshire Food Festival last night.
Those lucky enough to be on the guest list for the reception at the Lainston House Hotel near Winchester enjoyed a selection of mouth-watering recipes.
The food festival runs from June 24 until July 9 and is a fortnight stuffed full of events celebrating all that is good about local food and drink.
Attractions will include cookery demonstrations, workshops, farm walks, talks, open days, picnics, barbecues, food tastings and farmers' markets.
It is organised by Hampshire Fare that promotes local producers across the county.
