Good Food Show / Masterchef 2009

Whatever you want to call it, it was fun. It wasn’t too busy and we felt we had plenty to east, taste and do. We went on the Sunday and arrived 5 minutes before opening – not intentional but we walked in and up the stairs to the awaiting doors.

Here are some of our highlights:

  • Masterchef cook-off between Matt Follas and Steven Wallis – It looked a little contrived but it was none the less entertaining
  • Beyond Chocolate – they definitely sold the best chocolates in the show – now in Waitrose, alledgedly!
  • Elderflower liqueur – I just had to buy this! Ideal with champagne, I’m told
  • Beetroot and Apple Chutney – This was great with a decent cheddar
  • Restaurant Experience – A great way to sample some very special dishes – including some Masterchef winning dishes – sorry Mat, didn’t get to try the Lavander Mouse… ;-(
  • Knife Skills – Quite an interesting little overview by Marianne Lumb
  • Other demonstrations around the hall were well attended and seemed enjoyable
  • Plenty/Bounty Girls – what more can I say about them – well there is plenty of them
  • Gregg / John / Michel and Monica – They can certainly draw a crowd
  • Lovely Bubbly – enjoyed a little sojourn here tasting Champagne!
  • And lots more…. I’ll be there next year!
