The real star of the show was to be found in the Moy Park Celebrity Chef Theatre (and in the smaller cooking area on the main floor), which was host to loads of celebrity guests throughout the weekend, everyone from Jenny Bristow and Rachel Allen to Chris Fearon and Nick Nairn was there to share some wisdom. We saw James Martin, the host of Saturday Kitchen and he really was a great guest. James cooked up some local fayre, in the form of Dexter beef and a quick seafood curry, providing tips and humour as he went.
The Food and Drink Show NI was a massive success and we all went home with full bellies (and to be honest, a little tipsy too), with a 2014 show confirmed, all we can say is good luck, and roll on next year!

I'm 20 years old, studying Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster Coleraine Campus. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as currently writing for BBC Across the Line.
