Yesterday, Michel Roux Jr, Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry opened the doors of Olympia for the annual food spectacle that is the BBC Good Food Show London (15th November 2013). The show runs until 17th November, where visitors have the opportunity to sample and buy from over 300 food & drink brands and artisan producers, and be treated to some of the nation’s favourite chefs and experts including James Martin, John Torode and Antonio Carluccio.

With the show still running over this weekend (13th - 17th November) there is still time to show your support while shopping for some great Christmas ideas.
