A few more sales have popped up, with some good choices for foodie gifts at better prices. Just remember nothing is a bargain if you don’t want or need it, or won’t absolutely love it, or it won’t invoke the same feelings in the recipient. Here’s a few choices from me: 1. Emma Bridgewater – [...]

I imagine ours is not the only post Christmas fridge with a whole heap of leftovers to work thr0ugh, and actually their part of my New Year’s resolution. There are some awful stats around each household throwing away between £420 and £610 worth of good food every year, all going into landfill. And this year, [...]

Not yet in two places at once!
November 1st, 2009 · 2 Comments · Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie blogs, Uncategorized
No post from me on here today (although Twitter followers will find photographic evidence of Dr T’s black eye in my tweets!) as I am returning a favour. A few weeks ago, English Mum gave us her 5 favourite old farts, or the cookbooks by them, and today I am starting her Christmas countdown with [...]

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 [...]
