For all those Midlands based foodies out there, its the BBC Good Food Show Winter next week – at the NEC Birmingham from 28 November – 2 December. I’m very excited and will be there on the Saturday, bright and early waiting for those doors to open! Surprisingly I’ve only ever been to the Good Food Show once. Even more surprisingly it was in Capetown back in 2008! On the last day of our holiday, facing a rainy sky, we stumbled on the show and decided to go in. We had an amazing time, trying samples of this that and everything in between and even met a couple of chefs..
Since that time, my love of food has grown and I’ll be attending the GFSW in Birmingham with a different agenda. Of course, I’ll still be excited to meet chefs and I’ll have my wine tasting glass and hand ready for samples at every stall but really, I want to use this trip to enhance my understanding and skills.
I’ll be visiting the supertheatre to see the great baking master at work – Paul Hollywood. And I’m equally excited about the Masterchef cook off challenges.
The opportunity to meet the experts also fills me with joy. If I get the chance, I’ll be asking questions about all things fishy. My weakest link is fish! I don’t cook with it very often and when I do, its a piece and nothing more exciting than that. I love eating fish and so, I think its time I learn more about cooking with it My goal to prepare and cook with one from fresh! Wish me luck!
There are still tickets left for the show, you can book them directly on the BBC Good Food Show Winter website.
