I would love to cook for Beyonce - maybe I will

I've been at the BBC Good Food Show, at the NEC in Birmingham, this week. It started on Wednesday and continues today and tomorrow.

I'll be focusing on the best of British with two dishes that tantalise the tastebuds.

The first is a beef dish with asparagus and a peppered hen's egg. I serve it with an English wasabi dressing. It's delicious. It combines different flavours and textures, with a little heat from the wasabi. The crowds love it.

I'll also be cooking a personal favourite; a chicken, chorizo and butterbean casserole. It is packed with flavour and really wows the crowds.

Cooking in front of thousands of people is a lot of fun. I have Twitter to thank for the opportunity.

When I signed up to social media, one of the first people I followed was a lady called Katy Truss, who works for the BBC Good Food Shows. Katy is great and has been enormously helpful to my career.

She's a hard-and-fast foodie. She loves cooking it, eating it, shopping for it and writing about it. She also loves her job, which is managing the small producers and speciality food content of the BBC Good Food Shows.

I'd always fancied demonstrating at the BBC Good Food Show and so I decided to be a bit cheeky and Tweet Katy. I asked her whether she'd consider me and, thankfully, she did. Katy booked a demonstration and it went down really well. She asked me to demo in Birmingham, Glasgow and London and I loved it. I soon found myself rubbing shoulders with James

Martin, Michael Caines, Jack Stein – the middle son of chef Rick – who was there too.

I've been ever present at the BBC Good Food show ever since. The celebrity chefs are all booked into the same hotel and we hang out together when the show finishes. It's always a pretty sociable occasion and I find myself with the chefs that we all know and love on the TV.

The BBC Good Food Show won't be my last demonstration of the summer. I'll be at local events – like the Shrewsbury Food Festival on June 29 and 30 and the Ludlow Food Festival on September 13-15 – as well ones taking place further afield.

I've been booked to cook to play at Hyde Park in July as part of British Summer Time. BST is a huge event and it will feature some of the biggest names in music and food. There'll be all sorts of bands on the line up, from the Rolling Stones to Sir Elton John; from JLS to The Beach Boys; from Bon Jovi to The Kaiser Chiefs and The Vaccines and from Lionel Richie to Jennifer Lopez.

I can't wait to get started and, who knows, maybe I'll bump into one or two of those people. Those events are great fun. Fans always come ready to have a good time and they enjoy the best of British food along with the best music from around the world. It'll be lots of fun.

One couple who won't be on the bill is Beyonce and Jay-Z, though I'd love to cook for them. I think if I could cook for any celebrity, it would be them. They both seem like amazing people. I'd love the opportunity to serve them some really good food; maybe someday I will.

This weekend, however, all of my thoughts will be focused on cooking for people at the BBC Good Food Show. The event has been instrumental in landing me jobs cooking on TV shows like ITV's This Morning and Channel 4's What's Cooking.
