What do your team want for Christmas?

November 30th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Meat treats, Places to shop online

I think I’ve possibly heard the oddest, but most foodie, Christmas request from a team over this weekend. The team of builders from Poland who work for a friend are not having a Christmas bonus, but are having a whole pig. A dead pig, but a whole one, which apparently will be converted into a [...]

I really like Natoora, great for shopping for continental goodies without the jet lag. And now they are offering Christmas in a box, bringing great taste to the table without the queue!

The Friday Five – the cookbooks to let someone deliver

November 27th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Cookbooks, Food Writing, Friday Five, Italian food

Which means you probably don’t want to lug them home. Well, not unless you buy two and are equally balanced, so getting [...]

Not forgetting the coffee drinkers!

November 25th, 2009 · No Comments · Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gadgets, Foodie gifts, Ingredients, Just for fun, Kitchenwares

I wrote about great Christmas gifts for the tea lovers yesterday, and it would be very unfair to leave the coffee drinkers out. I have divided loyalties: can’t start the day without a cup of tea, and weekend doesn’t begin until the first cappuccino is brewed. But if the foodie in your life is a [...]

Tea. Best drink of the day. Well, certainly first drink of the day in my book, but gets equal pegging with coffee during the day. But if you’ve got a serious tea drinker on your hands, what could you give them that would upgrade their tea drinking experience? Here’s a few thoughts for you: 1. [...]

It’s coming round to that time of year, when you’ve ticked all the easy ones of your list, and you’re facing into the fact you’ve only got that one awkward so and so to still shop for. We all have at least one, and every year it’s tough going. My best advice is shop early [...]

The Friday Five – cooking for charity

November 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Baking, Christmas foodie gifts, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Friday Five
