Culinary TV stars to talk cooking and faith in Lisburn

Here is an opportunity to meet two of TV’s culinary stars and hear them talk cooking and faith.

Christ Church Parish, Lisburn, is hosting Tearfund’s Cakes, Bakes & Faith tour on Thursday October 3, and it’s going to be a mouth-watering evening which will include a live bake-off between presenters Martha Collison and Will Torrent.

Martha was the youngest ever contestant on the Great British Bake Off and Will is an award-winning chocolatier, patissier and Waitrose consultant who regularly appears on Ready, Steady, Cook.

As part of this evening of cooking, Martha and Will will talk about their recent trips with Tearfund, sharing inspiring stories of how Tearfund is supporting families in greatest need. Will met cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast, while Martha visited Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

Anyone with aspirations of being a baking superstar can bring their home-cooked treats to be judged (kindly!) by Will and Martha live on stage. If you plan to bring something, please email ni@tearfund.org to enter the competition at least three days in advance of the event on October 3

The evening runs from 7.30pm-9.30pm and tickets can be booked at [www.tearfund.org/cakes].

“Repentance means unlearning all the self-conceit and self-will that we have been training ourselves into… It means killing part of yourself, undergoing a kind of death.”
