Culinary Lockdown Lessons

Culinary Lockdown Lessons

So, here we are, 12 weeks after the Government gave us permission to Stay at Home! Most of the things we took for granted: the freedom to go anywhere, buy anything and see anyone were suspended. The pubs, cafes and restaurants closed, the streets were […]

Wine in a day

Wine in a day

While I feel that I know a fair bit about food (well, routinely coming second in the Annual Food Festival Quiz has to count for something right?), I am the first to admit that my knowledge of wine is severely lacking. Enter Sara Bangert from […]

PALESTINE ON A PLATE

PALESTINE ON A PLATE

I love a traditional Sunday Lunch but last weekend thought I’d give something different a try. I picked up the book Palestine on a Plate at work and was immediately attracted by the vibrant colours shouting out at me from the page. After inviting a […]

JOIN THE CLUB

JOIN THE CLUB

In my youth all we had were Chess and Computer Clubs (I was rubbish at both) but these days things are much more interesting with Supper clubs, Wine clubs, Gin clubs and even Chocolate clubs popping up all over the place. Although I am yet […]

FIND TIME FOR FIKA

FIND TIME FOR FIKA

Forget Hygge … Fika is the latest Scandanavian buzzword to hit our shores … a concept which means making time for friends and colleagues to share a cup of coffee (or tea) and a little something to eat. So a perfect name for a cafe […]

GETTING COSY IN EXETER

GETTING COSY IN EXETER

Recently the hubby and I found ourselves locked in a cosy 1940’s styled Private Detective’s office in the middle of Exeter! Now I know what you’re thinking … but no this isn’t some kind of strange fetish we have. For some strange reason someone thought […]
