Halal food festival in London
Visitors to the EXCEL Center this weekend have come from as far away as Australia to see what the growing, multi-billion pound industry has to offer.
There will be live cookery demonstrations, celebrity chefs, cooking classes as well as restaurant and street food exhibitors.
The facts and figures for the halal food market support the concept of a festival, which was the idea of a couple from London.
According to the latest census, there are 2.7 million Muslims in the UK with a spending power of overestimated in the region of £20bn. The population is rising and in the capital more than one in 10 inhabitants is now Muslim.
London Mayor Boris Johnson, whose great-grandfather was Muslim, is supporting the festival.
"The halal food industry is worth millions to our economy, and it is entirely right that this event should be taking place in London, home to so many Muslim communities from all over the world," he said.
The multi Michelin star-winning chef Jean Christophe Novelli is showing off some of his cooking at the festival: "Having been brought up to respect all religions and faiths cooking halal meats for friends and neighbors is as natural for me as it is preparing vegetables for vegetarians."
A number of well-known chefs will be at the event a common misconception is halal food refers only to meat and animals slaughtered in a certain way, in accordance with Islamic guidelines.
The Muslim religion demands that slaughter is carried out with a single cut to the throat, rather than the more widespread method of stunning with a bolt into the head before slaughter, ensuring a rapid loss of blood.
Festival founder Dr Imran Kauser says the ban is because "the Halal Food Festival is about improving the experience for halo dies and broadening their culinary horizons."
Buckingham Palace, Downing Street and the Mayor of London, occasionally serve halal food to cater for invited guests, but festival organizers, say it is the demand from middle-class Muslims which could create a real change in the UK's restaurant landscape.
