I was delighted to be invited along as a guest of the BBC Food Programme to their Food and Farming Awards last week during the BBC Good Food Show. I joined last year’s winner in the Producer of The Year category (and new client!) Alex Gooch in the Supertheatre where the Food Programme’s Sheila Dillon did a fabulous job of hosting and compering the awards. We caught up after the event and looking forward to lunch in January! Introduced Alex to Adam Henson of BBC Countryfile, suspect with shared passion for great ingredients and baking they’ll be meeting again.

BBC Food and Farming Awards

Sitting just behind the likes of Rick Stein, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Giorgio Locatelli, Richard Corrigan, James Martin and Valentine Warner we watched a succession of amazing, inspirational individuals and groups being recognised for their hard work and enterprise and receiving awards from this esteemed front row! Great to see our pal broadcaster and man behind British Street Food Awards Richard Johnson up there too.
