Good Food Show London - 2013

It was the BBC Good Food Show last weekend - 14th to 16th November 2013 - at Kensington Olympia. A major meeting point for food enthusiasts which has been taking place annually for several years now, this year's show was a dream. So many things were on offer, but I must admit though that the highlight of the day for me was the opportunity to attend one of Michel Roux Jr's cooking presentation.With so much to see from the exhibitionists to the cooking demonstrations, I had a blast trying out most of all I came across. I even bought a couple of things that I am now thinking about incorporating into some of my recipes.
Of course I came across some familiar old tried and tested products, which have now earned my loyalty.
Definitely worth mentioning is The Wine TubeMap Tasting Tour which was both a delight and a revelation to some fantastic producers.......particularly Hungarian wines (See pictures 35 - 38
The collage is a summary of my time at the exhibition and the products that caught my attention. As they say "A picture is worth a thousand words".
