I went to Burleigh House yesterday with BFF, just for a quick mooch round the food fair. Having been to the last one, wasn’t expecting a lot, but yesterday was better, and was pleased to meet the team from The Big Dip. This is a new business, based in Lincolnshire, that will be launching [...]

I was interested to find myself being followed by Dr Morgaine Gaye on Twitter last week, who has the fabulous title of Food Futurologist. Which is an amazing title, and in my next life that’s what I want to be! Her website and blog are beautifully designed, and there’s some great stuff on here. I [...]

Virtuous cupcakes – a follow up

I wrote a post a few days ago about the launch of Petit Pois cupcakes, and I forgot to write about my tasting of them on launch day. Which was pretty good! Once I’d got over my meanness! At first sight, £5 for 2 cupcakes does seem like a lot of money and, in these [...]
Finally! A chocolate I will hate!

I love chocolate. Mainly good chocolate, with an occasional guilty lapse into a Mint Aero. Or a Turkish Delight. But usually I settle for a small amount of something good. But there is nothing, no amount of wrapping it up in good chocolate, that will convince me to try Marmite’s upcoming Very Peculiar Chocolate. I [...]

It’s that time of year again when the Fancy Food Show has been on in New York, and the NASFT sofi Awards are handed out. Last year it was all about blood oranges, which I have seen making appearances in various forms in delis, but not in huge quantities. And this year? Well, no such [...]

Loving chocolate from Chocolate & Love

Getting back from holiday and surveying the pile of post is normally depressing, just a pile of junk and bills. Not this trip! Got back to a stack of chocolate from Chocolate & Love, and of course I’ve been busy working my way through it. I promise I’ve been sharing it! We started with Crushed [...]

Wine for the people?
October 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Foodie things to do, New food launches, Uncategorized, Wine
Wandering through the twitterverse early on Sunday morning, I saw a tweet from Dom Burch, who is head of Corporate Communications at Asda, about a wine that they had created with The Sun. Now, I’ll be honest, my immediate reaction was that this probably wasn’t going to be wine I would love. Dom offered to [...]
So, what is a cool food and drink brand?

Finally catching up with the stack of newspapers yesterday I came across a supplement from last week’s Observer about cool brands. Or, more correctly, CoolBrands®. Now, having been through this process before, I’m a bit cynical about what might be included, knowing that defining cool must be even more subjective than defining what makes a brand super. [...]
