The biggest celeb draw this year is doubtless Gordon Ramsay, known as much for his wicked tongue as for his flair with food.
This will be the biggest name in the International food world to have ever been hosted at the Good Food & Wine Show.
He is part of a line-up of BBC Lifestyle celebrity chefs attending the show this year.
The list also includes:
- Eric Lanlard (of ‘Glamour Puds’ fame)
- Reza Mahammad (owner of The Star of India in London)
- Giorgio Locatelli (Michelin Star Italian chef featured in ‘Tony and Giorgio’)
- Willie Harcourt-Cooze (star of ‘Willie’s Wonky Chocolate Factory’)
- Patrick Williams (specialising in Caribbean-style food)
Local chefs will be entertaining and teaching side by side with these globally recognised kitchen stars.
Those attending the show will be able to watch Ramsay’s live cooking demonstrations in the Chefs in Action Theatre. He will also host a number of book signings.
Visitors will be encouraged to taste, sample, experience and experiment in the hands on, interactive format of this year’s event. Some of the lucky ones will even get the chance to cook alongside BBC celebrity chefs.
