Tiny hands clapped with glee when we surveyed our potential black, red and white currant harvest back in the spring. The gooseberries looked promising too. “We can make loads of schnapps and finally our own red currant jelly. This year I’ll make some gooseberry sauce for Christmas and some gooseberry vodka with the dessert gooseberries.” “The gooseberry [...]

The Bhurtpore Inn at Aston is a famous hostelry tucked away in the depths of Cheshire. A classic, large multi-roomer, it has some outstanding original features and an excellent beer garden. It holds two beer festivals a year and the reason for my visit was the fourteenth summer fest. It had been some time since my last visit and I was interested to note any changes. Having made sure the WHB had taken...

Having made something similar to sag aloo last week, we decided that far too much time has passed since we cooked any Indian food and decided to cook tandoori chicken again with some sag aloo and also have another go at naan bread. Our last attempt at naan bread was pretty much a complete disaster so [...]

Sounds like a weird combination, doesn't it? I feel like I've lost a bit of cooking inspiration recently. It's been all stir-fried noodles, simple pastas - the kind of thing you can cook in 15 minutes. This has been because of it being cheap to make, quick to make, and requiring little to no imagination. Work has been busy, but life has also been busy. The sun has been out and I've been trying to...

Like this one… First book of the summer was To [...]

While I thought the 2004 Roda Reserva was a touch better than the 05, it's the opposite with Roda I. I did a fair bit of preparation with this bottle: decanted for 3 hours, then back in the bottle, off to La Luna for dinner, back into a decanter while we drank a handy half bottle of Ca del Bosco, then into the glass. Overall, the 05 is a more structured and complete wine at this stage, it has also...

"Organic” on the label does not say anything about the quality of the wine or the food, it only means how the grapes or ingredients are farmed, and it is all down to the wine maker or farmer to make a good wine or food out of them.

Last weekend I finally got my grill out of the neighbor's garage, where it's been stored (for a worthwhile reason) since November. I'd been anticipating trying some of the grilling recipes I've longingly saved, and as soon as I took a bite of this salmon cooked in foil with tomatoes, olives, garlic, thyme, and saffron, I knew this was a recipe I'll make over and over. Not only does it have

FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD! (Free subscription) | yesterday
Am back from holidaying in Tuscany and Lake Annecy in France. We had a wonderful time though it sounds like the weather was much better here than in chilly, windy and frankly rather damp Tuscany! I'd love to be showing you photos of the fantastic scenery and, more importantly, the superb food we enjoyed but alas, we fell prey to some rather greedy burglars who broke into our apartment one night and...

IN JANUARY, a brush with administrators saw ‘Fish Works’ streamline its sites from ten to six. Craving crustaceans for not much cash, I stopped by their Swallow Street flagship to check its recovery... Despite taking this snap under soothingly low light, I hope you can see just how lavish a platter it turned out to be. Beyond the parsley was a large crab, legs intact. After an uncompromisingly...

The organic food market has become the fastest-growing sector of the food industry, blossoming over the years into a business that rakes in $23 billion each year. Part of the reason for organic food’s success, however, could be that the government has slowly eased the standards for what receives a U.S. Department of Agriculture “organic” [...] Post from: Bizzia

I love going to the cabin, I really do. But for some reason I am always extremely crabby once I leave. Not sure why. It might be that i haven't showered in two or three days and I stink. Or that I don't get much sleep after 4 am everyday I'm there due to my lovely dogs and it is finally catching up with me. Maybe some of each. Not sure. All I know is that I feel completely out of sorts the entire ride...

French wine growers are protesting against EU plans to permit the blending of white and red grapes to produce rose wines. The proposal has emerged as part of a package of measures from the EU Commission aimed at assisting the European wine industry with an assault on world markets. When the issue was considered by the EU in January, it received the support of the French government who clearly did not

Hello In the mid 1970s, I taught Gastronomy at Surrey, UK, University before becoming Director of the Edinburgh Hotel School for six years. Then I was Head of the Faculty of Community Studies at Canterbury College for five years. In both posts, I was very much concerned with Health Education and Food. Two books of mine and various papers were published. After Canterbury, I was a Tourism Marketing specialist...
