Fabulous! Four weeks of football. Which in our house means 4 weeks of catching up on DVDs. And doing some cooking, hopefully out of doors. So my concession to the football is to offer up some outdoor cooking options from around the world, something to tempt the BBQ king or queen to try something a [...]

Here are some not very sensible suggestions for a foodie who doesn’t take it all too seriously from Getting Personal’s [...]

Presents for men, gifts for girls, but what about the foodies?

November 17th, 2009 · No Comments · BBQs, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gadgets, Foodie gifts, Kitchenwares, Places to shop online

Dr T hates this time of year, as catalogues flood through the letterbox, but I consider them research. He always has a sneaky look through the Presents for Men one though, normally for a laugh. So without all sorts of cooking cliches, is there anything in here, and its sister publication Gifts for the Girls, [...]

I love it when the Cox & Cox catalogue arrives, particularly now the Christmas one is here. Looking at it with a specific task of finding something for someone who adores food and everything associated with it is not difficult. It might be the only gift you give them that has no actual food involved! [...]

I love a good top 10 list, I think it’s a remnant from childhoods spent listening to the top 20 on a Sunday night, waiting for Radio 1 to changeover to FM! I was intrigued to get this top 10 list from Cook In Style, to see what they were selling well in these interesting [...]
