I am not a big fan of sales, but only when I have to rummage around a real shop. Online, it’s obviously a doddle in comparison, particularly when hunting for something with a specific theme. Here are some not very sensible suggestions for a foodie who doesn’t take it all too seriously from Getting Personal’s [...]

I am not sure why, but there aren’t so many foodie gift lists come out of the UK, most seem to come out of the US. It’s possibly down to the fact they use the word more, but then I’m not sure what the English (UK) alternative is, as gourmet, epicure and gourmand always feel [...]

It’s been a busy morning here at FGH HQ, with a whole load of cooking going on ready for trick or treating tonight. I decided to eschew the easy option of the bags of multi coloured goo and sugar from the supermarket, and go for homemade versions. This has involved MGG poring over the pages of [...]

I think it’s probably clear I don’t need much encouragement to buy a new cook book! But even I think and pause when it’s around lesser holidays. I mean, I have a couple of titles devoted to Christmas which is, lets face it, just one day. So why nothing for other one day events? Well, [...]

MGG is a food lover in training, who would name her favourite food as mussels (marinieres, possibly grilled, but not barbecued), chicken pie and Chinese (read chicken chow mein). Which is not bad going for 7. I know [...]

More make it yourself kits
