Something foodie to do at Easter without chocolate

March 24th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel

The Easter holidays are rapidly approaching. Hurray! Always a favourite holiday as there is a chance of sunshine and an almost cast iron guarantee of chocolate. If you’ve got some time to do something different, then how about offsetting the chocolate gluttony with a trip to the Imperial War Museum, for the Ministry of Food [...]

Sunshine and chitting

March 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Fruit & Veg, Grow your own, Healthy eating, Places to shop online

Finally, it feels like the longest winter in history may be over, and the big yellow thing has returned to the sky.

I love being a mum, and I love my food. Which probably makes me easy to buy for on Mother’s Day. And it has meant that Dr T has never fallen into the trap of Olay and L’Oreal Mother’s Day advertising (trust me, she’s worth so much more, and no mum wants anti-wrinkle cream. Ever). [...]

There are very vague signs of Spring: mornings are lighter, if I slink off sharpish it’s still light when I leave work, and there are some small green shoots in the garden. And in the kitchen all sorts of things change for me. I know that it’s Spring when I start reaching for Bill Granger [...]

Just spotted that the Jamie Oliver sale is in full swing, and there are some good things to pick up, either if you need a gift urgently, or to put aside. I’ve written before that I think this is a great range of products, not just name stamping by Jamie but stuff cooks and foodies, [...]

Snowed in? Plan your veg garden!

Lets face it, it appears we are in the worse winter since God was a boy and sent us the last Ice Age. Which means we don’t have to feel remotely guilty about not setting foot out of doors. Personally, this is the time of year I like to spend curled up with the seed [...]

December 27th, 2009 · 3 Comments · British favourites, Cookbooks, Courses, Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel, Preserving, Turkish Food

It’s coming round to that time of year when everyone and his dog has the crystal ball out to look at the year ahead and tries to work out what will be up, down, in or out in the year ahead. I did this last year for food, and can’t believe it’s that time again. This [...]
