I was on a very rare weekend foray into town last weekend, and made a quick detour through John Lewis to see whether they had got festive yet, as their foodie gifts are often interesting. Whilst not having looked at the offer online in any great detail, these are the things that caught my eye [...]

A good look at tea with Bellevue Tea

I wrote last year about how much I like Bellevue Tea, and liked them so much it’s what I gave my team for Christmas. Which means I’ve got to work out what to give them this year, but if I was going back to Bellevue then I’d be going for this colourful option: The tea [...]

I was contacted by the team at Tea Palace recently, and they wanted to know if I’d like to try some of their tea. Always up for looking at new things, and certainly a good brew, I said yes. And was rather overwhelmed by their generosity, as a huge box of beautiful looking tins arrived [...]

What food do you take away with you?

We’re getting ready to go away for Easter, and our housesitting aunt and uncle are on the way here (they do come at times when we are at home too). As you may have got the hang of, there is quite a lot of food in this house, perishable and otherwise, but they always arrive [...]

In a perfect world, we would all be able to eat exactly what we want, stay in perfect health and feeling great and, preferably, not putting an ounce on! But it can’t be that way for everyone and if you have food intolerances, that’s bad enough, but if you absolutely adore your food then that’s [...]

Just spotted that the Jamie Oliver sale is in full swing, and there are some good things to pick up, either if you need a gift urgently, or to put aside. I’ve written before that I think this is a great range of products, not just name stamping by Jamie but stuff cooks and foodies, [...]

More temptations in the sales for foodie gifts

A few more sales have popped up, with some good choices for foodie gifts at better prices. Just remember nothing is a bargain if you don’t want or need it, or won’t absolutely love it, or it won’t invoke the same feelings in the recipient. Here’s a few choices from me: 1. Emma Bridgewater – [...]

Another month gone, and we’re getting so close to Christmas now. After last month’s obsession with unusual foodstuffs like the Gummi Bear, this month has swung into full on gift searching, but at a more general level. And then the usual array of odd searches that cause me amazement, bewilderment and the odd giggle or [...]

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. [...]
