Food, glorious food! You can take your music festivals, writing festivals, mountain, flower and tree festivals — give me a food festival every single day of the week.

Taste stands alone as the king of travelling food festivals, because not only can you taste a vast array of delicious food, it offers you the opportunity to get behind the scenes with some of Sydney's most illustrious chefs and try their more amazing creations (without the usual corresponding bill). See Manu Feildel, Tony Bilson and Peter Kuruvita create their dishes live on stage, right before you head to the Jaguar Wine Theatre to swish it down with a fine drop and learn more about what you drink.

And that's not all. The Festival also includes the artisan's producers markets for the best morsels to take home, an exploration from percolator to pot with Nespresso's Journey Through Coffee, the Sensology Art of Cocktail Making courses to learn how to mix the classic drinks, and for those of you with a sweet tooth don't miss out on the De Dietrich cooking school where you'll learn how to make the finest French pastries with chef Vincent Gadan.

So pick up your fork, dust off your chopsticks and prepare your buds for the Taste sensation this festival will bring.
