I’m a bit behind on my posts, and should have done an earlier review of loose teas from a new company, Tea Box. Based in Sheffield, this is a small family business with an interesting line in tea, and some nifty packaging too. I spent some of my child in South Yorkshire, where Sheffield really [...]

The Friday Five – Roasting Australia
January 7th, 2011 · No Comments · Baking, BBQs, Breakfast, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Friday Five, Meat treats, Outdoor cooking
I’m not that into cricket, and I may well be tempting fate (writing this as I am on Thursday night) but with a fair wind (or possibly rain) by Friday morning the Ashes should have been won, not just retained, and there’ll be a bit of crying in beer going on, and the sun will [...]
The Friday Five – the book of the restaurant
October 29th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Breakfast, British favourites, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Friday Five
I’ve written about all different kinds of cookbooks since I started writing, on different themes, but never about books of the restaurants. Odd ones have crept in with different themes, withThree Chimneys in particular being hugely popular. So these are not connected in any other way except they are the books of some great [...]

Trust Boots: Christmas is looking tasty

So, it’s mid September, which means Christmas is appearing in shops all over, on the High Street and online. I’ve written about a few early contenders, so seems only fair to feature what’s going on in Boots. In case you don’t know, for my day job I work for Boots, but I work on beauty, [...]
Fabulous food? Normal for Norfolk

As MGG has been at Brownie camp, Dr T and I took the opportunity to escape for a night away, and have had a fantastic night at The Crown Inn at East Rudham. It appears we did very little from the time we arrived except eat and drink, unless you count a long walk on Brancaster [...]

So the spectre of the volcanic ash cloud returns, combined with BA cabin crew, ready to disrupt the plans of many to get away for Whitsun (ourselves included). Seems should have made plans that didn’t involve flying, but who knows, may get lucky. If I was planning a treat of a trip that wasn’t going [...]

The best meal of the day

I love breakfast. To be fair, I love weekend breakfasts, holiday breakfasts, breakfasts out…anywhere really where it’s relaxed and, preferably, someone else has made it. And if you didn’t make someone breakfast in bed on Valentine’s Day, then do it just as a surprise on any other day, or take them somewhere special, or just [...]
