I wrote yesterday about a few ideas on what to get a food loving mum for Mother’s Day. Which kind of got me thinking about the things to avoid. Here’s a few I’d give a wide berth to: 1. Milk Tray – the lady may love Milk Tray, but most food lovers won’t be over-thrilled. [...]

Holding back the cookbooks

I think it’s probably obvious by now that I have a bit of a thing for cookbooks. Which means they are everywhere around the house, whether they fit the space or not. So I could probably use some of these bookends, both for the practical aspects, but also for the great designs. I really like [...]
So, what are the most used gadgets in your kitchen?
February 1st, 2010 · 4 Comments · Foodie gadgets, Foodie gifts, Kitchenwares
I’ve been in the kitchen quite a lot this weekend, doing everything from baking to cake decorating with Mini Gourmet Girl and making a massaman chicken curry from scratch. Which saw me digging around the kitchen and marvelling at how many things just don’t seem to get used that often, that it’s the same bits [...]

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 [...]

What gadgets are we hoping Santa has packed on the sleigh?
December 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Baking, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gadgets, Kitchenwares
A few days ago, I posted the question on Twitter as to what gadget the foodies were most hoping for Christmas. To be fair, it was a bit one sided on the results, without any need for a dance off, public vote or judges decision. Yes, the runaway leader was a KitchenAid Mixer, absolutely hands [...]
