Once again I’ve had a few products sent to me to share with you, so here’s a little round up. Although they have been sent to me for free, my reviews are as always completely honest. Jack Links meat snacks I wasn’t entirely convinced I’d like this meat snack, as I assumed it was a type […]

My #PerfectPorridge with Flahavan’s Irish Organic Porridge oats
I do love a nice bowl of porridge in the morning. It’s quick to make, warming, lines your tummy and is generally a healthy start to the day. So when Flahavan’s, the porridge people, contacted me to ask if I would create three ‘perfect porridge’ recipes for them if they sent me a few goodies, […]

Maple walnut homemade ice cream recipe
I realise that as we move into March you might not think that a recipe for ice cream is entirely appropriate. However, it has been the hottest weekend of the year so far (Saturday was apparently hotter than Rome!), so maybe you are already thinking about ice creams, barbecues, Pimms and salads. However, that’s not […]
What I tried recently – Welsh milkshake, Mango Lassi and Gluten Free bagels – review
Sometimes I am lucky enough to be sent products to review, or I go to events and hear about new products. It’s great fun, and I am very lucky to have this experience. Over the last couple of months I have received the following goodies to share with you. Daioni milkshakes Unusual name? Yes, I thought […]

A cheat’s Christmas cake
If I am ever presented with a cake menu (sadly, not often enough) then I suspect that hell is more likely to freeze over than I am to choose a fruit cake from the menu: generally I feel that fruit wasting the space that could be used by delicious cake, or cream, or jam, or […]
Breakfast at Billingsgate
Just after returning from my holiday in Mexico, I was invited to Billingsgate fishmarket in Canary Wharf, London, for a tour and festive breakfast. I thought it was a great opportunity to have a nosey around what I imagined to be quite an intimidating market, and also have a free breakfast, so I immediately accepted. […]

Bier and Bratwurst in … Moorgate …
When I think of eating traditional German food like big fat sausages, roasted hunks of pork, potato dumplings, sauerkraut and more sausages, I don’t think of the City of London. So when I was invited to a German beer tasting at Bierschenke by Zomato, I was a bit dubious. However, I accepted because I really […]
Merry Berry Mistlemoo with Pieminister
I love pies. You can’t really go too far wrong with meat, gravy and pastry … or fruit and pastry. Well, pretty much anything can taste amazing with pastry surrounding it. But there are good pies, and there are not so good pies, and there are awful pies. But my idea of pie hell (I’m […]
Baking with Betty Crocker
I was recently invited to Betty Crocker bake and decorate event in London and was disappointed to discover that Betty was invented in the 1920s by American Mad Men. ‘Her’ first product was Bisquick (still available in shops now) and ‘she’ was introduced to the British market in the 1990s. My brother Jason and I […]
Curry pizza from Curry Dave – review
When I was approached by ‘Curry Dave’ to review his range of curry pizzas (“currizzas”), I wasn’t exactly optimistic about the prospect. I like pizza, and I like curry, but a combination of the two sounded a bit weird and not very appetising. However, it did occur to me that the Curry Dave range might […]
