I wrote over the weekend about how MGG and I had enjoyed lunch at the East Midlands Food Festival from Jack’s Artisan Pizza. I wrote about how amazed I was at the wood fired oven in the back of a horse trailer, that I’d never seen one before. Well, blow me, these things are like [...]

Their Christmas gift offer is always strong, particularly in foodie gifts. Here’s what’s caught my eye: [...]

Time for Glastonbury but will there be food?
June 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · BBQs, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel, Outdoor cooking, Places to eat
Time for the trek to Somerset, tents at the ready, for Glastonbury. Will there be rain and mud, or just endless sun? And will there be anything to eat? And, to be honest, I’m never going to find out for real as I cannot imagine that this is ever going to be my scene. It’s [...]

Nearly time for Father’s Day, which is always one of those events that catches even me by surprise. It needs something else just after it, like the way Mother’s Day works with Easter.

It’s hard to believe we’re nearly at the end of another year. As always in this household, there’s been a lot of eating over the year, from eating in to eating out, eating in the UK and eating overseas, eating alone and eating with friends. In fact, eating with lots of friends. So, here’s my [...]
