Good food and wine: are there four sweeter words in the English language?

If there are, I haven’t found them yet, so it will come as no surprise to hear I highly recommend heading to the Sydney Good Food & Wine Show this weekend (if you are in town, of course).

The Good Food & Wine Show is on at Darling Harbour until Sunday, offering you the chance to try the latest and greatest in produce as well as wine, not to mention the other attractions.

Celebrity loudmouth chef Gordon Ramsay is putting on cooking demonstrations and signing books throughout the show, and you can also taste sample dishes from other chefs, including Tobie Puttock, in the Lindeman Late Harvest restaurant.

If you’re a cheese fan (and seriously, who isn’t), the Cheese Matters Masterclass is a must-do - taste your way through a variety of cheeses over 45 minutes. Then there is the Gourmet Garden cooking school and, of course, the Riedel Decanter Bar. Wine tasting sessions of 45 minutes are being held in the bar, giving you the chance to try a variety of wines, including some boutique drops.

You can find out more about Sydney Good Food & Wine Show ticket information and the show schedule at the website.
