I’ve kept meaning to write about these great designs from Prestat. Really attractive looking, and great sounding flavours too. This bar is almond and sea salt milk chocolate, which even though milk chocolate would still tick the right boxes for me. This box is perfect for the truffle lovers out there. Thirty [...]

I do love this! I still wouldn’t eat it, but I’d happily put it on the kitchen shelf. If you do like it, then buy two!

May 7th, 2012 · No Comments · British favourites, Foodie gifts, Tea and coffee
Countdown is on for the Jubilee, and it wouldn’t be a great British event without a commemorative mug or two. Here’s a few that I’ve got my eye on: * Do two things at once: celebrate the Jubilee and know that your purchase has gone to help the work of Help for Heroes. Just £5, [...]

Time to dry up for the Jubilee
April 30th, 2012 · No Comments · British favourites, Foodie gifts
When I wrote my first post about some of the good stuff I’d spotted for the Jubilee, I did write that I was surprised that at that time To Dry For had no teatowels for the occasion, having stocked such a great one for the Royal Wedding last year. Well, as you can see, they [...]
The Friday Five – Best of British
April 27th, 2012 · No Comments · British favourites, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Friday Five
I’ve had friends over from the US and France this week, and the conversation over a good dinner turned to the state of British cooking. Of course, the charming Frenchman was still very reticent about whether or not dinner could possibly be good, whereas the Amercans were blown away. And then breakast at Canteen convinced [...]

Getting great flavours in the box with Flavrbox
April 4th, 2012 · No Comments · British favourites, Foodie gifts
I love the many great producers that I get to meet, not to mention sample their produce. It’s also great to see other new businesses that pull together some of that great produce, and Flavrbox is one of those. Based in Bristol, this is a social-enterprise, so doing good whilst bringing you some great stuff [...]
Time for a Jubilee tea?
April 3rd, 2012 · 3 Comments · British favourites, Foodie gifts
I love a good celebration (as witnessed by the amount of things we lugged out to Cyprus last year for the Royal wedding) so thought it about time to start thinking about the Jubilee. And then I passed M&S’s windows today to see all their jubilee pots in the window. I think this range is [...]
Some great food businesses worth checking out
March 28th, 2012 · No Comments · British favourites, Cheese, Foodie gifts
Quick post, but just wanted to mention a few great businesses I’ve met over the last couple of weeks, who are doing great things with food, in different ways: * Turnbulls Deli – if you’re near Shaftesbury, I’m quite sure you’ll already know this deli, and if not then make a detour when you’re [...]
Getting ready for Jubilee & Olympic baking
January 19th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Baking, British favourites, Foodie gifts
Just a quick one for those of us likely to get involved in street party or TV party baking for the two big events this year. Cake Craft Shop have a special Olympic and Jubilee section for cake decorations, and some great stuff to choose from. Might be worth stockpiling now before everyone gets themselves [...]
Gourmet experiences they won’t forget

I’ve written before about how much I enjoy giving food experiences rather than just food things, and I’ve given a few from different “experience” companies. I really like Red Letter Days, and they have some great experiences for food lovers and cooks. Have a look at these and see if there’s someone on your list [...]
