I was all set today to make a Simnel cake, ready for the arrival of the marzipan loving, house-sitting aunt and uncle. Well, when I say I was all set, I mean that I had it in mind that I would.

The Friday Five – Getting set for the Six Nations

February 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, French food, Friday Five, Italian food

I love this time of year, love the thrill of a great rugby game, love the air of gloom and despondency that descends on the household should Wales lose to England (and only if they lose to England). But enough about Dr T, I am making an exception to the Friday Five alliteration this week [...]

The Annual Pickled Onion Hunt

December 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Bar snacks, British favourites, Foodie gifts, Italian food, Savoury gifts

Dr T looks forward to this time of year. Nothing to do with the exchange of gifts, the bon homie, the endless turkey. No, it’s all to do with pickled onions. Just the one jar arrives in the house each year, just in time for cold cuts and chips on Boxing Day. His choice is [...]

November 27th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Cookbooks, Food Writing, Friday Five, Italian food

There seems to be an obesity problem, and I’m not just talking about our waistlines! Browsing the food section of the bookshop it seems that cookbooks are just growing and growing in size! Which means you probably don’t want to lug them home. Well, not unless you buy two and are equally balanced, so getting [...]

The Friday Five – Scott Can Cook, and He Can Eat Out Too!

November 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Cookbooks, Food Writing, Foodie gifts, Friday Five, Italian food

Time for another Friday Five from a guest blogger for a different point of view. Scott Can Cook is a fantastic blog, and I follow Scott on Twitter. Which can be a terrible thing, as he regularly invokes real food envy, particularly as he’s been working his way through the menu at Jamie’s Italian on [...]

Depending on how you arrived at reading these pages, you may or may not know that I’m a big Twitter fan. Actually, Dr T says I have been wittering for years so it was a natural step. Anyway, one of the things I love about it is the great people I have met, and I’m [...]
