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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been away for a week, which means there’s a whole load of catching up to do, on boring stuff like washing and bills, and interesting stuff like new gifts that would suit different kinds of food lovers. Whilst it might take a while for me to review properly, here’s the things I’m thinking about: [...]

We had a great time yesterday at the Derbyshire Food & Drink Fair, although slightly relieved we did go yesterday, which was warm enough, as I imagine today will be a real scorcher. Here’s a few thoughts and photos, in case you are wondering either whether to go, or what you missed! This was about [...]

The Friday Five – Cookbooks for the New Age of Austerity

May 14th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Baking, British favourites, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Friday Five, Healthy eating

So, George Osborne is with us, and we have to remember he promised us an age of austerity as he starts with the cuts. Given that everyone has been talking about whether or not that might include putting VAT on food and books, I’m in for a double whammy. So before that happens, here’s 5 [...]

Buzzing about National Honey Week

May 12th, 2010 · 2 Comments · British favourites, Foodie gadgets, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Ingredients, Preserving, Sweet treats

I missed this last week by being in Hong Kong, but honey and bees seem to be a very hot topic at the moment, and not just in our household. I love that Harry Eastwood was working with the Honey Association on recipes for the week, as I’m a huge fan of hers (as my [...]

May 3rd, 2010 · 6 Comments · Bread, British favourites, Cheese, Chocolate, Foodie Travel, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Foodie treats

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 [...]

Cry “God for Hops, Eating and St George”

April 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Beer & Lager, British favourites, Cheese, Fish & Seafood, Foodie gifts, Ingredients, Meat treats, Places to shop online, Sweet treats, Wine

Apologies to Will, particularly as it’s the anniversary of his birth and death on the same day, but St George’s Day really should be a call for celebrating what’s great in English food. Let the French scoff, but the renaissance, revival and reinvention of British food hasn’t left a corner of this sceptred isle untouched. [...]

Loving chocolate from Chocolate & Love

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 [...]

Selfridges available anytime, anywhere

March 31st, 2010 · 1 Comment · Chocolate, Foodie gifts, Foodie treats, Ingredients, Places to shop online, Spirits, Wine

I love Selfridges, could spend hours in there, and eat my way through a great many foodstuffs. So I’m thrilled to find that, finally, their website has gone transactional. Welcome to the 21st century. But the good news is that it gives a whole crop of interesting food possibilities, either to stock up your own [...]
