Every year the Lincolnshire Showground plays host to the county show. All county shows are pretty much the same. There is a section to look at large tractors, an area to pet the farm animals and, the bit that I was interested in, stalls of local food.
As well as chatting to some of the stallholders to find out what it is like to be at the Lincolnshire Show, I also caught a cooking session with celebrity chef Colin McGurran.
Listen to the podcast of this week’s programme below:

The Lincolnshire Show was a chance for people to get a cooking lesson from some top local chefs. I popped into a session with Colin McGurran, who has recently starred in The Great British Menu. He cooked a few dishes that he would ordinarily serve up in his restaurant in Scunthorpe.
Afterwards I chatted to Colin to find out some of his top tips when it comes to cooking.

One thing I found a bit strange was for an event that was promoting Lincolnshire there was a lot of stalls showcasing food from Yorkshire and even Norfolk. However, these are some of the best Lincolnshire stalls I found.
