I know I write reasonably regularly about Not On the High Street, but I guess it’s because, with their business model, there’s always new stuff going on. Here’s what I love right now for the food lovers, cookers, bakers and servers. * Measuring Glass – perfect for dried goods and liquids, this is attractive looking as well [...]

Those of you who’ve read my blog on more than one occasion will know that I try to not feature the obvious, am not much of a lover of the themed gift, and tend to write about stuff that first and foremost tastes great, rather than looks right for the occasion. I’m not going to [...]

What do your team want for Christmas?
November 30th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Meat treats, Places to shop online
I think I’ve possibly heard the oddest, but most foodie, Christmas request from a team over this weekend. The team of builders from Poland who work for a friend are not having a Christmas bonus, but are having a whole pig. A dead pig, but a whole one, which apparently will be converted into a [...]

I was intrigued to suddenly receive a catalogue from Forman & Field. I always seem to get a very random selection of catalogues, but this one ticked a lot of the right boxes for me. And I did a bit of research on Twitter to see what the reaction was, and what other people’s experiences had [...]

The catalogues cometh, part one!

Ah, September. Month of mist and mellow fruitfulness. And catalogues. Yes, an almost daily deluge in our house, driven by my addiction to online shopping and from my work on ProblemPresents.com in the past. Some are good, some are bad, and some are laugh out loud awful. But what about if you’re trying to find [...]

Heading for the Great British Cheese Festival?

After yesterday’s post about Stilton, it seemed only right to give a mention to the Great British Cheese Festival in Cardiff this weekend. More cheese than even I can get through, there will be all sorts to take your fancy. There’ll be tastings and masterclasses, so really from milk to plate. But if you go [...]

After a couple of days of foodie gifts where taste may not be the absolute first priority, I thought it was time to have a break and write about real foodie treats! Really this was prompted by an email from Natoora, rather than continued loathing over the Blueberry Vodka Glass Slipper! I really like Natoora, [...]

The Friday Five – great French cookbooks
July 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Baking, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Friday Five, Meat treats, Sweet treats, Uncategorized
This week’s Friday Five has a particularly Gallic flavour, as by now our housesitters (aka Gran & Gramps) will have moved in to tend the house and garden, and we’ll be en route to France. Which of course means two weeks of over-indulging in great food and wine. Although given the exchange rate, we may [...]
