Back to the post! Yesterday my mum and I headed to Harrogate to attend the BBC Good Food Show. This was both our first time at the event, and we were very impressed! What we weren't expecting however was the amount of people that were there! It was so busy it reminded me of being at a concert. We were sure they must have oversold tickets; people were even spilling out into the corridors and sitting on the steps just to get some fresh air!
However, the stalls themselves were really good. There were stalls ranging from confectionary to alcohol to meats and kitchen gadgets. There was even a full hog roast pig that was devoured by the end of the day expect for its poor head! There were some demonstrations of the products, and one in particular that we thoroughly enjoyed was by Vitamix.
Later on in the day near the book signings, we spotted the one and only Mary Berry being interviewed! We were lucky to spot her, and us and some other people were trying to get a sneaky photo in. I zoomed in to get this shot.
Then at 2:30 it was time to watch the woman herself on stage. She showed us how to make a salmon pastry parcel, and told us some facts about herself, like of her love for tennis and the fact her mother was 105 years old when she died last year! That one turned heads. The cameraman was being a bit mischeivous and kept trying to annoy her all the way through it, but I think she thought it was quite funny.
