One of my favourite annual events is the New Zealand Hospitality Show. The New Zealand Culinary Fare is a major attraction with the cooking events as exciting as any sporting event. It's a little like an Olympic compettion with teams competing for the cooking equivalent of a gold medal. I usually find a seat (if I'm lucky), at the front close to the action and follow one team from beginning to end. This year I followed the student team from the Wellington Institute of Technology.
