The fact that no confectionery producer was recognised with an Award was queried on Facebook last night, and no explanation was provided at the event. \u00a0The booklet only recognises the small number of winners, and does not share who the other finalists were per category. \u00a0Previously called Eat In,<\/strong> the publication was a sister publication to Eat Out,<\/strong> but the former has been amalgamated into the latter. The award-winning food producers, as well as other top nominees in the various food categories, will be at the Neighbourgoods Market today to offer their produce to taste and sell.<\/p>\n
