Every year I love going to the Good Food and Wine Show to sample a range of different and often new [or at least, new to me] foods.
This year the show looks like an absolute cracker! [pun intended :)]
It’s on at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre Friday 9 – Sunday 11 November.
This year many of the old favourites are back, including the celebrity theater [this year with Ainsley Harriott [swoon], Maggie Beer, George Calombaris, Manu Fieldel and Matt Moran], cheese and wine masterclasses and the Chef’s book signings. There are also a few new activities that looks SENSATIONAL!

One of my favourite parts of the GFWS has always been the Celebrity Theatre. Who wouldn’t love to watch the chefs work their magic.
That being said, I was diagnosed coeliac a few years ago and last year was my first year where the GFWS and the Irresistable Gluten Free Show were combined. I spent a whole day watching everyone at the Healthy Living Theatre. I came away with so many great ideas and such an inspiration to get back into the kitchen.
I am definitely looking forward to the Healthy Living Theatre the most. I’m so excited!
I look forward to tasting the Australian cheeses and other Australian products. I love to see what our Australian small businesses are producing and selling. Yum!
Watching the chefs cook and plate their food – I could watch all day long. 🙂
Congratulations Adrasteia! You’ve won! I’ll be in touch by email.
Thanks to all of you for entering 🙂
