What is Christmas all about if not the food? Roast turkey, Yorkshire puddings, pigs-in-blankets, mince pies and that all-important leftovers sandwich. It’s best to plan well ahead when it comes to cooking on Christmas Day. And nothing will prepare you better than the awaited return of the Good Food Show Winter.
The Good Food Show Winter will be at the NEC in Birmingham from November 21 to 24. Not only featuring a star-studded line-up showing unique recipes and tips ahead of the holidays, but it’s also going to be the perfect place to buy Christmas presents for the foodies in your family. It’ll be chock-full of British artisanal food and goodies!
Two Michelin-starred chef, Tom Kerridge will ignite the Big Kitchen – where renowned chefs demonstrate their culinary skills live on stage at the heart of the show – with his classic British cooking. He’ll be joined by the likes of James Martin, Nadiya Hussain, Michel Roux, Paul Ainsworth, Clare Smyth MBE, and Matt Tebbutt cooking up seasonal winter recipes.
The Christmas Kitchen, hosted by Chris Bavin, invites a mix of familiar faces for more live cooking and festive cheer – including Queen of Gluten Free, Becky Excell and new talent like Sophie Wyburd. Meanwhile, the Let’s Talk Good Food Stage and the brand-new Good Food Kitchen are a must for Good Food Magazine lovers, and the best part is… they’re both free to attend!
