The 2018 Good Food Award winners have been announced and have secured their awesome metal awards in the shape of their winning category. Several food makers such as Healdsburg SHED won multiple awards, some in the same category, some in others.
This year I had the pleasure of judging confections, otherwise known as chocolates…yum. It’s a dizzying, full day of tasting, narrowed down to where there are 3 winners in 4 regions. Exhibit A:
