As the region's leading consumer food magazine, BBC Good Food Middle East's annual Awards are a key point in the year's culinary calendar. This year, for the sixth annual awards, we're delighted to announce a major partnership with the inaugural BBC Good Food Show Dubai - the first time this extremely popular British institution has been organised outside of the UK.
This powerful collaboration between CPI Media Group and Turret Media will further deepen the strength of the BBC Good Food brand in the region and discussions are already underway for a more extensive partnership for next year.
This year, the BBC Good Food ME Awards evening will act as the opening ceremony for the BBC Good Food Show Dubai. Celebrity chefs including Paul Hollywood, James Martin, Andy Bates and Silvena Rowe are already confirmed for the Supertheatre at the Show. The Awards will be held on the evening of December 16th 2015, and the BBC Good Food Show Dubai opens the next day at Dubai World Trade Centre, running for three days.
This joint celebration of the best of good food in the UAE is a game changer in the local market and the start of a number of other initiatives linked to BBC Good Food ME planned for next year.
With culinary icons Paul Hollywood, James Martin, Andy Bates and Silvena Rowe!
