Our trip to County Durham led us to some great new food experiences from local producers, and one of those was Wheelbirks. So good, we went twice. But when ice cream is this good, why wouldn’t you? Their ice cream comes from the milk of their own pedigree Jersey herd, apparently the oldest in Northumberland, [...]

The Friday Five – Bring on the Ice Cream

Surely summer is going to start properly some time soon? Been thinking about ice cream in all its forms, and wondering when it’s really going to be warm enough to want to tuck into some. So maybe whilst it’s not quite warm enough it’s a good time to be making up plenty of batches to [...]
The last ice creams of summer
September 8th, 2009 · No Comments · British favourites, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Foodie treats, New food launches, Sweet treats
It seems the weather is having a last hurrah of warm weather in some parts of the country, so seems a good time to indulge. This weeks sees the launch of The Icecreamists at Selfridges, the so called agents of cool. Now, this could look like style over substance, with a guerilla ice cream installation, [...]

The Friday Five – looking ahead to new food and drink books

It’s getting to that peak time of year when whole heaps of books are launched, ready to tempt the Christmas shoppers I guess. Or those of us who could probably just squeeze in at least one more cook book to our (groaning) shelves. Here’s my very personal view of what looks interesting for the next [...]

A foodie tour of La Rochelle
July 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Fish & Seafood, Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel, Places to eat
I love La Rochelle, and would happily spend my days here (note to the housesitters, yes, we will be home. Unless we win the lottery). It has everything you could want, especially if you want good food. You can do everything from fine, Michelin star dining through to just a quick coffee, but it’s all [...]

We all scream for ice cream
July 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Cookbooks, Foodie gadgets, Foodie gifts, Sweet treats
Another glorious day, more temperature records broken…even more need than ever for great ice cream! Now you could pop out to the corner shop for a Fab or a Strawberry Mivvi, but the true foodie is not going to be happy with that! Unless your local stocks something fab like Minghella’s, or Roskilly’s for the [...]
