Can you imagine how hellish I would find the Real Food Festival? Running from this Friday (7 May) through to Sunday for us mere mortals, it is billed as the UK’s most exciting food festival. Why on earth would I want to go? And really, I didn’t want to. I’m not at all bitter and twisted [...]

April 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Chocolate, Foodie gifts, New food launches, Places to shop online, Sweet treats

Getting back from holiday and surveying the pile of post is normally depressing, just a pile of junk and bills. Not this trip! Got back to a stack of chocolate from Chocolate & Love, and of course I’ve been busy working my way through it. I promise I’ve been sharing it! We started with Crushed [...]

Channelling Juliette Binoche

March 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Chocolate, Foodie gifts, Foodie Travel, French food, Places to eat, Sweet treats
