This year’s show runs from 29th November to 2nd December 2018, and as always, it’s a great way to kick off the festive season.

You’ll be able to see some of your favourite chefs on stage at the Big Kitchen super theatre. Sessions at this year’s show will feature Mary Berry, Tom Kerridge and local favourite Glynn Purnell, plus many more.

 

They’ll be presenting exciting recipe ideas and plenty of inspiration for your festive feast.

And the Big Kitchen sponsors, Travelsphere, will be presenting some additional sessions on-stage on Thursday and Friday.

You can experience a taste of India with Cyrus Todiwala, Chef patron of Cafe Spice Namaste, on Thursday 29th November. While on Friday 30th November the Godfather of Spanish cooking, José Pizarro, will be presenting a taste of Spain.

Meanwhile, the Winter Kitchen sponsored by Magimix is the place to go for tips, techniques and recipes for the festive season.

Presenters on this stage will include Jane Devonshire, Lotte Duncan and Rosie Birkett.

Or head to one of the Skills masterclasses for a hands-on skills session led by the masters.

You could learn how to make sourdough, pick up some knife skills with Zwilling, or try your hand at festive cake decorating.

And the Good Food Show is a fantastic opportunity to stock up on delicious food and drink ready for all the festivities ahead.

With over 400 stands, you’re bound to find something you love. You can choose from big brand names as well as smaller independent and artisanal producers.

If you’re looking for gift ideas, you’ll find masses of inspiration including specialist knife stalls and cookware stands. I love spotting new gin brands, and there’s always a good selection at this show.

Or you could take the opportunity to pick up a book signed by one of your favourite chefs.
