I’ve kept meaning to write about these great designs from Prestat. Really attractive looking, and great sounding flavours too. This bar is almond and sea salt milk chocolate, which even though milk chocolate would still tick the right boxes for me. This box is perfect for the truffle lovers out there. Thirty [...]

The countdown is on to Easter, and you can’t have Easter without some good chocolate. So unless you want to be standing in Asda trying to choose between a Smarties or Jellytots Easter egg then you need to get a move on to ensure you have some of the good stuff come Sunday. Here’s the [...]
Guilt free chocolate?

I really wish I didn’t have a sweet tooth. Or poor will power! Maybe I could try solving those sweet urges with something not quite so calorific, like the Chocolate Flake tea from Teapigs. They say it’s not sickly sweet like hot chocolate (of which I’m generally not a fan) but a sophisticated combination of [...]
Valentine’s chocolates with taste

I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day, bit over commercial being the understatement. And I do rather loathe “themed” gifts. But I do love chocolate. So here’s my thoughts on who’s doing what well for the day: Melt – one of my favourite chocolate companies, I’d be quite happy to give or receive the [...]
Perfect night out for a fragrance loving foodie

I’ve written before about trying to combine my two loves, food and fragrance, so hugely excited to hear that William Curley has taken this to the next level. For one night only he is running an evening of pairing fragrance with chocolate. Could it get better than that? The evening is a combination of his [...]

I’m travelling a lot over the next week, hoping to pick up some foodie inspiration along the way. Which means writing time is a bit limited. But as we’re coming into the Christmas season people are going to be after more gift advice than ever, then I thought I would do some very short picks [...]

It’s that time of year again when the Fancy Food Show has been on in New York, and the NASFT sofi Awards are handed out. Last year it was all about blood oranges, which I have seen making appearances in various forms in delis, but not in huge quantities. And this year? Well, no such [...]

Me, I shall be exhibiting some very bad dance moves under the influence of half a shandy at Party in the Park. Which is a serious dent in my foodie credentials (not to mention cool rating) as I guess I should have been heading to Taste of London. And having read Niamh’s review of her [...]

Nearly time for Father’s Day, which is always one of those events that catches even me by surprise. It needs something else just after it, like the way Mother’s Day works with Easter. And events involving chocolate always have my attention! So, if I were shopping for a Father’s Day gift for a dad with [...]
