The blessed Berry will be appearing.

If you think that Mary Berry is the best thing since sliced bread or that James Martin is tastier than hot buttered toast then you should probably snap up your tickets for the BBC Good Food Show Scotland pronto.

Returning to the SECC, Glasgow, this coming weekend, the three day show promises hundreds of foodie exhibitors; lots of sampling opportunities and, of course, a good half dozen top notch telly cooks in the Supertheatre.

Patron saint of cakes

As well as the patron saint of cakes, Mary Berry, her co-presenter Paul Hollywood will be in attendance as will MasterChef’s John Torode; Edinburgh’s Tom Kitchin and, as we mentioned, James Martin, the mainstay of weekend morning TV programming.

You may think that there is only so much that you can learn from watching Torode, Hollywood et al whiz up their recipes on stage.

Happily, for those who would like to get a better grip on their culinary heroes, there is also the interview stage.

Over the course of the weekend, Lotte Duncan will be quizzing the assorted pan rattlers, flour sifters and pot jockeys.

Quiz the culinary stars

Audience members will also have the chance to pose their own questions. So, if your Victoria sponge has more in common with the construction industry than the culinary arts, this is your chance to get it sorted.

Advance ticket prices start at £19.25. The show runs from 10am on Friday 17th October.

Children under 18 are free of charge to the show, but pay for their seat in the Supertheatre (except for nippers under 6).  All children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
