I’m not sure where I picked this one up from but just going through new stuff I’ve picked up and this one really did catch my eye. The back story for St.John & Dolly Smith’s pickles is really touching, amusing and most definitely worth a read. I think it’s really touching and one of those [...]

Curry sauce dilemma
May 16th, 2011 · No Comments · Foodie gifts, Indian Food
I think of myself as very lucky with this blog, as some great companies have very kindly sent me products to try over the years.

I wrote a few weeks ago about the Hare’s Moor DIY curry kits, and how great I thought they looked. So when they were on special offer on Ocado last week, I bought a couple, and asked Dr T to test them, given that he is primary cook in this household, and a huge curry [...]
