The Friday Five – Cakes for Haiti, or anywhere else
February 26th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Baking, British favourites, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Friday Five, Sweet treats
You may have picked up that today is Cakes for Haiti day, and hopefully you’ve been busy knocking up something delicious! I’ve done blondies and hummingbird muffins, which are new to me. Dr T suggested I could have done all cakes or biscuits beginning with h, but that would be taking it a tad too [...]

Tea. Best drink of the day. Well, certainly first drink of the day in my book, but gets equal pegging with coffee during the day. But if you’ve got a serious tea drinker on your hands, what could you give them that would upgrade their tea drinking experience? Here’s a few thoughts for you: 1. [...]

Lets face it, Marks & Spencer is a Christmas institution, which is not necessarily where you want to spend Christmas. But if it was the only place still open on Christmas Eve, then there are some choices I would make on the foodie gift front. Actually, some of these are definitely worth turning up for [...]

At sixes and sevens at Cotswold 88

I feel it only fair to start this by saying there are many things that the ever patient Dr T is good at. Sadly, choosing hotels is not one of them. But he does normally choose ones that give us something to laugh about! Having survived 10 years of being married to me, he chose [...]

The rise and rise of the cupcake

This had passed me by slightly, but this week apparently is National Cupcake Week. Which is definitely going to be one of my favourite weeks of the year. Where did the cupcake come from? How did it raise itself up to be the top cakey treat? Like many trends, I would think we have to [...]

Bring back afternoon tea
July 5th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Baking, British favourites, Cookbooks, Foodie treats, Sweet treats
Not all of us can afford, or want to go to, tea somewhere posh, but that doesn’t mean we should miss out. Afternoon tea is pne of my favourite meals (it’s right up there with breakfast. And lunch), and we had a lovely one with friends today. Which is a great excuse for baking! This [...]

A fabulous foodie treat of an afternoon tea

Buying gifts for foodies doesn’t just have to be things. In many ways, experiences will last longer than many physical things you can buy. And if your foodie fancies a bit of a treat, then I love this new afternoon tea at Harvey Nichols. The Laura Mercier Perfume Tea is a fabulous combination of tea, [...]
