June 30th, 2010 · No Comments · Beer & Lager, Bread, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Picnics, Wine

The British summer calendar clicks on, and today sees the start of Henley Regatta. I’ve always thought Henley sounded splendidly civilised, a bit like the cricket at Lords, just with more water. The gentle splash of oars hitting water, an occasion made for Pimms and cucumber sandwiches, and no need to leave dry land at [...]

I’ve been away for a week, which means there’s a whole load of catching up to do, on boring stuff like washing and bills, and interesting stuff like new gifts that would suit different kinds of food lovers. Whilst it might take a while for me to review properly, here’s the things I’m thinking about: [...]

Cry “God for Hops, Eating and St George”

April 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Beer & Lager, British favourites, Cheese, Fish & Seafood, Foodie gifts, Ingredients, Meat treats, Places to shop online, Sweet treats, Wine

Apologies to Will, particularly as it’s the anniversary of his birth and death on the same day, but St George’s Day really should be a call for celebrating what’s great in English food. Let the French scoff, but the renaissance, revival and reinvention of British food hasn’t left a corner of this sceptred isle untouched. [...]

Of course I was delighted to get back from holiday to find an election had been called. How riveting the 4 weeks will be. I’m afraid I can’t quite see the attraction of being an MP. Unless there’s good food involved. Which got me thinking. Which is the best seat to hold from a food [...]

It seems that wherever you go in the world, everyone is happy to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, whilst the other national saints barely get a look in even in their home countries! But lets not get all partisan about it, lets just get on with some eating and drinking! 1. Ok, you can’t really start [...]

So here we are, 1st March, St David’s Day already. Some of you may know this is a part ex-pat household, with Dr T being my own Welsh dragon, and I have a great many friends over that particular border. And if you haven’t discovered the great foodie things coming out of Wales, then you’ve [...]

What will you swap this Fairtrade Fortnight?

February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Beer & Lager, British favourites, Fairtrade food, Foodie gifts, Ingredients, Places to shop online, Savoury gifts, Spirits

The annual Fairtrade Fortnight started yesterday, and I like this year’s theme around asking people to swap just one thing they regularly purchase for the Fairtrade version. Small steps to change always seem much more manageable somehow! So, bananas and coffee feel a bit old hat, and many will already be buying fairtrade (or did [...]

Sweets for your sweets

December 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Beer & Lager, Chocolate, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Sweet treats

Last week got a bit healthy in places, so it’s back to the sweet stuff! I wish I didn’t have a sweet tooth, but I do. Generally it likes to be fed good quality chocolate, but just occasionally it will wander over the naff side. If you’ve got a sweet-toothed sweetie to buy for, here’s [...]

I think it’s possibly a little later than last year, but there seem to be a lot of last minute offers flying in from my favourite online sources for great foodie gifts. Rather than a raft of short posts I thought I would pull them all together in one post, so that you could get [...]
