Me, I shall be exhibiting some very bad dance moves under the influence of half a shandy at Party in the Park. Which is a serious dent in my foodie credentials (not to mention cool rating) as I guess I should have been heading to Taste of London. And having read Niamh’s review of her [...]

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 – Bring on the Veggies
May 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Cookbooks, Food Writing, Foodie gifts, Friday Five, Fruit & Veg, Grow your own, Healthy eating
Next week is National Vegetarian Week, so I thought it would be good to look at interesting cookbooks that are not about the meat. Even if you’re not a full time veggie, there is a school of thought that says it’s a good thing to have less meat, and therefore you might want some inspiration [...]

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 [...]

Quick recommendation for Riverford Porchetta

This will have to be a quick post, as I am in the haze of a glorious Sunday dinner, that had the porchetta roast on the bone at it’s centre. This came ready to roast with a fabulous salt and fennel seed rub all over, and was fantastically easy to cook. Bung it in the [...]

What will you swap this Fairtrade Fortnight?
February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Beer & Lager, British favourites, Fairtrade food, Foodie gifts, Ingredients, Places to shop online, Savoury gifts, Spirits
The annual Fairtrade Fortnight started yesterday, and I like this year’s theme around asking people to swap just one thing they regularly purchase for the Fairtrade version. Small steps to change always seem much more manageable somehow! So, bananas and coffee feel a bit old hat, and many will already be buying fairtrade (or did [...]

Dr T & MGG do The Field Kitchen – take two

If you were quick, you may briefly have read my vicarious review of Dr T and MGG’s lunch at The Field Kitchen at Riverford. Sadly, there was a glitch on the blog and I had to restore to the previous day’s version. Which wiped it out. I could try and rewrite it, but the original [...]

Just having a quick virtual browse round to see what’s new for Spring for the foodies, and here’s just a few of the things that have caught my eye: * From The Fish Society, a tasty treat for those needing a gluten free diet. Norcakes are fishcakes from Norway that have seen neither potato (so [...]
