Prepare for Christmas at the BBC Good Food Show Winter
The BBC Good Food Show Winter is the perfect place to find everything you need for Christmas all under one roof. With 21 years experience of putting together the country’s biggest and best Food event, The Good Food Show offers a great festive day out.
I attend the show every year, each year it gets bigger and better with more product exhibitors, live show's and idea's for me to take home with me.
To be honest I only really go to taste everything, I like to try all the food samples and buy products that I thought "Blimey that's nice!". Last year I tasted and brought a good range of products ready for Christmas, I came home with bags full of cake mixes, ready made brownies, cheeses and sausages (some were locally produced and not big name producers).
I also like to taste different wines to try to grasp the difference between dry, medium, sweet etc... having all the different brands available you can get a good idea of wines you like from different countries and brands. They normally have fantastic offers available so you can purchase in bulk and save a packet.
During the last show I was also introduced to whisky and other stronger spirits. I have never really been a big fan of strong liquors but by having a small taste of different types I have actually used some in my cooking! I have recently made a tea bread with whisky which I would never have attempted before.
I can't wait for this years show, I wonder how many celebrities I can spot this year? Keep your eyes peeled when you are walking around as you can suddenly be face-to-face with your favourite foodie stars from the telly while you are supping wine or stuffing yourself silly with cake samples.
