I don’t think so! Certainly not in our household. Or Boat Boy’s house, where it’s still obligatory in his book to eat the festive Toblerone before breakfast. Of course you can do a last minute sweep of the supermarket, but if you’re organised you’ve still got time to get some more interesting choices in. Here’s [...]

Christmas without chocolate?

Baking the easy way but with taste
September 13th, 2011 · No Comments · Baking, Chocolate, Christmas foodie gifts, Cooking with Kids, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Sweet treats
We were joking about Shake a Cakes the other day, which would most definitely not be something I would suggest sending anyone as a gift, not even as a joke. But very interested to see that Montezuma’s are now doing Baking Kits, which look like they could turn out very tasty results. Building on [...]

Of course I was delighted to get back from holiday to find an election had been called. How riveting the 4 weeks will be. I’m afraid I can’t quite see the attraction of being an MP. Unless there’s good food involved. Which got me thinking. Which is the best seat to hold from a food [...]

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 [...]

Yes, we’re really at the last minute for good foodie Christmas gifts and presents, but there are still a few of my favourite shopping places taking last minute orders still. If you’ve just woken up to the fact it’s Christmas Day on Friday, here’s a few last minute places to head to. Lets face it, [...]

Sweets for your sweets

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 [...]

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 [...]

So, what is a cool food and drink brand?
October 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Alcohol free drinks, Beer & Lager, British favourites, Foodie gifts, Healthy eating, New food launches, Places to eat
Finally catching up with the stack of newspapers yesterday I came across a supplement from last week’s Observer about cool brands. Or, more correctly, CoolBrands®. Now, having been through this process before, I’m a bit cynical about what might be included, knowing that defining cool must be even more subjective than defining what makes a brand super. [...]
