The Friday Five – Not taking cookbooks too seriously
November 4th, 2011 · No Comments · Baking, Breakfast, British favourites, Christmas foodie gifts, Cookbooks, Food Writing, Foodie gifts, Friday Five, Just for fun, Kitsch cooking
I wrote a post before about cookbooks from different characters, like Snoopy and Harry Potter, and I’ve come across a few more, but with more of a film and TV theme, that I thought were fun, and would be conversation starters with anyone browsing your cookbook shelves. They might even have some pretty decent recipes [...]

In the pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month
October 12th, 2011 · No Comments · Baking, Breakfast, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Healthy eating, Kitchenwares
Having worked in the beauty industry for quite a long time, then I’ve seen the launch of a whole host of products for the month of October that support various breast cancer charities, and I’m pleased to see that now the food related industry is now also lending its support. Maybe it is a bandwagon, [...]

The gifts I’ve been waiting to write about

Many of you will know that in my day job I work for Boots, in something not even related to food (I look after the best interest of two fantastic beauty brands in our shops, this one and this one). But my desk until very recently was next to the Gift Food team. Which meant [...]

Reflections on Harvest at Jimmy’s

It takes a lot for me to even consider camping. The promise of a huge variety of great food, not to mention demonstrations by some of the greats of the food world was pretty much what it was going to take. Which is how I found myself lugging a tent across a ploughed field [...]

Kitsch, kooky but perfect: breakfast at Kitchenette Downtown
July 31st, 2011 · 4 Comments · Baking, Breakfast, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel
I think I may have mentioned it before, but I really love breakfast. The proper, unhurried type, preferably where someone else cooks it. So I always try to get at least one proper breakfast in when I’m in the US, being a big pancake fan. This time I had a recommendation for Kitchenette Downtown, and [...]
Good honest crunchiness!

I’m very fond of Dorset Cereals, it has to be said. I mean, I could just love the beautiful packs, which did for me change the face of the cereal aisle in the supermarkets. But it’s not just that. It could be that they’re based in the beautiful county of Dorset, as I have been [...]

Decent cuppa for mums this Mother’s Day

Just a quick post, as I heard from two of my fave tea companies yesterday about what they were up to for Mother’s Day. Firstly, Bellevue Tea, which I am very fond of, as my team will testify as they all got Bellevue gifts Christmas before last. They’re doing a lovely trio of teas, that [...]
At last! Ebelskiver pancakes are here!

One of the things I’ve failed to find as the Foodie Gift Hunter until now is an Ebelskiver pan. I wrote about them in December 2009, when they were on a healthy foodie gifts list that came out of the US. And ever since then I’ve had people turn up on the blog looking for [...]
