Our trip to County Durham led us to some great new food experiences from local producers, and one of those was Wheelbirks. So good, we went twice. But when ice cream is this good, why wouldn’t you? Their ice cream comes from the milk of their own pedigree Jersey herd, apparently the oldest in Northumberland, [...]

Freemans – end of the alley, not end of the line
August 11th, 2011 · No Comments · Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel, Places to eat
You’ve probably got the impression by now that I really, really do love New York, and that my last trip was a good one. And I love that there is always somewhere new to me to discover. I particularly enjoy those that are accidental discoveries, and Freemans was definitely one of those. We had a [...]
WD-50 no slippery customer on the eating front!

I’ve been in my favourite city in the world recently, and although there with the day job, managed to work in some great food adventures. The highlight was most definitely dinner at WD-50, which I have to thank The Nose for, as all four of us agreed that the meal was truly deserving of the [...]

Not sure what to do today? If you’re not too far away, then I’d head to Stamford for the inaugural Stamford Feast. I love that it says it’s about celebrating culture through cuisine, and there is no better way to do that. Stamford is beautiful at the best of times, and if the weather is [...]

Come to Leicester!
May 10th, 2011 · 1 Comment · British favourites, Eating with kids, Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel, Fruit & Veg, Local food, Places to eat
No, really! I know it’s not Ludlow or Abergavenney, but I love Leicester, particularly the market, which is a great traditional food market. This is not a chi chi farmers market, this is your “traditional” fruit and veg done really well, and reflecting Leicester’s position as the first UK city with no overall ethnic majority. [...]
Cyprus at its best?
May 2nd, 2011 · No Comments · Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel, Local food, Places to eat
I’ve been coming to Paphos and the surrounding area for over 13 years now, since my parents retired out here. I’ve seen a lot of restaurants come and go between trips, I’ve seen a lot of land disappear under development after development, and I’ve had a range of meals from very poor to highly memorable.

Eating out – The Olive Branch at Clipsham
March 31st, 2011 · No Comments · Eating with kids, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel, Local food, Places to eat
I have no idea why we haven’t eaten at The Olive Branch before now. We’ve been in the area 8 years, it’s only 20 miles, and we know we like the chef’s style of cooking. Which is probably the problem, as The Olive Branch belongs to the same team who own the pub in our [...]
The Friday Five – Baking the American Way

My recommendations list at Amazon seems to suddenly include some great looking books from different US bakeries, and I’m tempted by all of them. See what you would consider giving shelf space to! Milk and Cookies: 68 Heirloom Recipes from New York’s Milk & Cookies Bakery by Tina Casaceli – I love the title of [...]
Somewhere different for the weekend?

I had to go to Lodz in Poland last week, which wouldn’t have been high on my agenda, but now I’ve been I can see you could spend a very reasonable weekend there, in every sense of the word. Don’t get me wrong, this is a city that in many ways is in decline, having been [...]
