The summer GFS was so much fun, so many free samples, so little time and because there was the gardner's world show there as well I could look at all the pretty flowers while I recovered from all the food. I booked tickets to see Gennaro Contaldo at the show
Not the best picture but he runs across the stage so quick, it was a shock that all the pictures didn't come out as a blur (I did feel sorry for the cameraman that had to run across the stage following him though). I was able to get a book signed by him as well from the series he just finished with Antonio Carluccio- Two Greedy Italians. So that can join the multitude of other signed cookbooks I own. Just as a note for anyone who watched the series Gennaro said that there will be a Two Greedy Italians Christmas special this year and a season two of the show.
As an added bonus I got Paul Rankin's autograph as well, he was there promoting his range of food- his stand is there every year but this is the first time I've seen him there.
Also I bought some ultra delicious macarons from a new company called macarons & more. It's being run by Tim Kinnaird who was a finalist in masterchef 2010. I'll be heartbroken when the macarons run out though.
All in all it was an excellent day yay!
