Sweets for your sweets

December 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Beer & Lager, Chocolate, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Sweet treats

Last week got a bit healthy in places, so it’s back to the sweet stuff! I wish I didn’t have a sweet tooth, but I do. Generally it likes to be fed good quality chocolate, but just occasionally it will wander over the naff side. If you’ve got a sweet-toothed sweetie to buy for, here’s [...]

I think it’s possibly a little later than last year, but there seem to be a lot of last minute offers flying in from my favourite online sources for great foodie gifts. Rather than a raft of short posts I thought I would pull them all together in one post, so that you could get [...]

The Saturday Session – guess Who is coming to dinner?

November 14th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Alcohol free drinks, Baking, Beer & Lager, Foodie things to do, Just for fun, Meat treats, Saturday Session

If you’d ever read my other blog, you would know I have ever such a slight obsession with Doctor Who. Which is only slightly driven by a slight obsession with David Tennant. Which means I am on a countdown to Sunday evening when The Waters of Mars airs. Given that it airs at 7pm, it [...]

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 [...]

Would you buy a hamper?

October 6th, 2009 · 3 Comments · British favourites, Cheese, Christmas foodie gifts, Fish & Seafood, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Savoury gifts, Sweet treats

It’s getting to that time of year when I get inundated with emails about hampers, and I often wonder who buys them. There’s the big corporate buyers, and I would think that a good hamper would be well received by many people. Even if you didn’t get the whole hamper, everyone on a team could get [...]

The Friday Five – what’s top of the pops

September 11th, 2009 · No Comments · British favourites, Cookbooks, Food Writing, Foodie gifts, Friday Five, Healthy eating, Ingredients

Last week was all about what was new, so I was just intrigued as to what was making the top of Amazon’s bestsellers list from already published books. The thing with Amazon is not just the huge choice, but also that an older book can stay around for ever, long after it’s gone out of [...]

What food is for

July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · BBQs, Cookbooks, Foodie things to do, Spirits

There was an Englishman, a Welshman, a Scotsman and two Dutchmen… Which is possibly the start to a good joke, but not one I know the punchline to. It’s also the starting point for an informal, impromptu gathering last night, that expanded to include wives, friends, children and a dog. Not to mention 3 barbecues, [...]
