Of course there are other places to buy great Italian food online, though less on the average high street.

How could I forget? Today is St David’s Day, which will see Dr T come over all nostalgic for his homeland. We’ll have a bit of Bryn Terfel on, the legend of Gelert will be told, and no doubt a pint or two of Dark will be drunk. That said, there are a few other [...]

I love great gifts that come from places that you wouldn’t expect to find something for a foodie with taste. As part of our trip to London at the weekend we ended up browsing in the shop of the London Transport Museum. And I have to say they have some stunning stuff for the kitchen. [...]

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 – [...]
