Another feast for the senses and the tastebuds! We go every year, and it's always different. This time the prices had rocketed, but we joined the queues nevertheless (when will we learn to buy our tickets in advance?)
Inside it literally took us 4 hours to browse around the four immense halls, filled with artisans, companies promoting products, individuals starting food gourmet products, cooking demonstrations and taster sessions.
The Lindt stall, pictured here, was raided by the girls throughout the day!
The visiting chef Donna Hay had a book signing, food magazines were launching their glossy products and every food of every type, consistency and edible need was there!
We tried four different types of coffee, all freshly made and delivered, curries, pastries, ice-cream (Kohu Valley has my vote) sorbets, vegetarian risottos, chocolates, biscuits, bagels, pizzas, flavoured crisps, brownies, dumplings, sausages, turkish breads, fruit teas, jams & chutneys, fat olives and blue cheeses, and aisle after aisle of liqueurs and wines, vodaks and gins - just to vary the pace.
There are 'rest' stations with chairs and of course, you can buy anything you like at a discount. The 'incredible edibles' meant we didn't even want dinner when we got home. We also got some cupcake & decorating ideas. Phew! I need a rest until next year!
