The countdown is on to Easter, and you can’t have Easter without some good chocolate. So unless you want to be standing in Asda trying to choose between a Smarties or Jellytots Easter egg then you need to get a move on to ensure you have some of the good stuff come Sunday. Here’s the [...]

Valentine’s chocolates with taste

February 1st, 2011 · 1 Comment · Chocolate, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Sweet treats

I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day, bit over commercial being the understatement. And I do rather loathe “themed” gifts. But I do love chocolate. So here’s my thoughts on who’s doing what well for the day: Melt – one of my favourite chocolate companies, I’d be quite happy to give or receive the [...]

Quick pick – chocolate icicles perfect for melting in the mouth

November 18th, 2010 · No Comments · Chocolate, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Sweet treats

I really like Melt, and have written before about being sustained on trips around Selfridges on one or two of their truffles. But for something festive, I’d choose these: Beautiful looking chocolate icicles, with either candied orange on the milk ones and mint crystals on the dark ones. Sound like posh Matchmakers, but I’m all for [...]

Finally! A chocolate I will hate!

September 29th, 2010 · 1 Comment · British favourites, Chocolate, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, New food launches, Places to shop online

I love chocolate. Mainly good chocolate, with an occasional guilty lapse into a Mint Aero. Or a Turkish Delight. But usually I settle for a small amount of something good. But there is nothing, no amount of wrapping it up in good chocolate, that will convince me to try Marmite’s upcoming Very Peculiar Chocolate. I [...]

What do you get a foodie mum?

March 6th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Alcohol free drinks, Chocolate, Foodie gifts, Grow your own, Mother's Day gifts, Places to shop online, Savoury gifts, Sweet treats, Wine

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). [...]

Choice chocolate for fabulous foodies this Valentine’s Day

February 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Chocolate, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Sweet treats, Valentine's Day gifts

Chocolate has had a reputation as an aphrodisiac all the way back to at least Montezuma, if not further, so it seems only appropriate that there is a lot of the stuff being given at Valentine’s Day. For those that a half pound box from Tesco is going to leave you very much out in [...]

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 [...]

Christmas Foodie Gifts for Tea Lovers

November 24th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Alcohol free drinks, British favourites, Chocolate, Christmas foodie gifts, Courses, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Places to shop online, Sweet treats

Tea. Best drink of the day. Well, certainly first drink of the day in my book, but gets equal pegging with coffee during the day. But if you’ve got a serious tea drinker on your hands, what could you give them that would upgrade their tea drinking experience? Here’s a few thoughts for you: 1. [...]

British Chocolate Week – my favourite week

October 14th, 2009 · No Comments · British favourites, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Foodie treats, Places to shop online, Sweet treats

If there was a week made for me, this is it! I adore chocolate, proper chocolate (although occasionally, on a bad day, can be tempted by a mint Aero or a Crunchie). As if an excuse was needed, I think there is more excuse to indulge in the good stuff this week. My top 5 [...]
