<p class="has-medium-font-size">It was an absolutely beautiful weekend in Greenwich, Connecticut. Even though we were just about to step into fall, it was a hot 85 degrees and the sun was beating down on Roger Sherman Park where the Greenwich Wine + Food Festival was taking place.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Foodies and chefs alike poured into the event which covered the vast acreage of the park with a truly grand &#8220;Grand Tasting&#8221; tent, professional concert stage, green rooms for celebrity interviews, full demo kitchens, and so much more.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Some exciting names at the 9th Annual Greenwich Wine and Food Festival included celebrity chefs Geoffrey Zakarian &#8220;GZ&#8221; from &#8220;The Kitchen&#8221; on The Food Network and his wife Margaret, Actress and Food Network show host, Valerie Bertinelli and Queen of Cooking Martha Stewart to name a few. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">For those that never attended the festival, it was packed with over 100 taste testings, culinary demonstrations, celebrity interviews, games, contests, and a full musical concert to cap off the night. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Geoffrey and Margaret Zakarian demonstrated America&#8217;s favorite comfort food, mac &; cheese of course! Have you ever had trouble with your sauce getting lumpy? There&#8217;s a fix for that! Never pour cold milk into your pot. Heat it up first on the stove and then pour it in.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">We had a chance to catch up with one of the headliners, Valerie Bertinelli, for a one &#8211; on &#8211; one interview. We know how busy you all are these days with little time for meal prep. &#8220;What are the best quick dishes to make?&#8221; we asked. &#8220;Anything in a skillet, I love a stir fry,&#8221; she exclaimed. &#8220;Casseroles are actually really easy too. You just have to shove them right in the oven,&#8221; she responded. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Bertinelli looked beautiful. With all of her experience in front of the camera from her time on &#8216;One Day at a Time&#8217; to the most present &#8216;Valerie&#8217;s Home Cooking,&#8217; we had to ask her for her beauty tips.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">&#8220;Water, water, water!&#8221; she exclaimed. She relies on hydration to keep her skin looking smooth and supple. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">When Geoffrey Zakarian and his wife Margaret walked onto the stage for their sit down Q&;A, you couldn&#8217;t help but take notice to this striking couple. They talked about their current lives with their 3 children living in NYC. &#8220;We used to live in Greenwich,&#8221; Geoffrey revealed adding, &#8220;not many people know that.&#8221; He said the reason they moved was because of schooling. However, the move may also have to do with the location of his current Food Network show, &#8220;The Kitchen.&#8221; It films in New Jersey and includes a small studio audience. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">In addition to Zakarian and Bertinelli, we also had the opportunity to speak to catering owner Mary Giuliani. Catch all the action from the day plus our super fun celebrity interviews. <strong>Watch the full video below:</strong></p>
