Pink stuff

February 11, 2011

As mentioned in my cucumber heart post I am not a soppy person. I am however unashamed to admit that I love pink stuff. Not in a Jordan/My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding type way, just in a nice, pink, retro/country living type way. I couldn’t let Valentine’s Day go by without writing some form of post so [...]

How not to make the perfect gravy…

February 10, 2011

So… replicating the flavour of my mum’s and Waitrose’s delicious gravy is pretty hard it turns out. Marginally tired but not hungover from the weekend’s events last Sunday, I thought it would be as simple as bunging in some vegetable stock, chopped onions and cornflour together but alas, making the perfect onion gravy is not [...]

I heart this cucumber…

February 9, 2011

I’m not generally a soppy person but I do think this heart chaped cucumber is pretty cool. In a novel way that makes a great visual, not in a romance-esque way of course. Because, quite frankly, there is nothing romantic about cucumbers. If a man brought this home for me he would be in serious trouble. Just in [...]

It’s all gravy…

January 27, 2011

For me (apart from the roast potatoes and parmesan parsnips made by my mum) gravy makes or breaks a roast. The thicker, the better. I do love my mum’s homemade gravy, however I also love it equally as much when she buys the thick, tasty, refrigerated gravy from Waitrose. Pure heaven. Anyhoo, living in South [...]

New Baileys flavour

December 2, 2010

Baileys reminds me of Christmas. Indeed, last Christmas Eve when I returned from festive drinks with old school friends well into the early hours of Christmas Day, my mum and I polished off nearly a bottle between us. Baileys has launched a new Hazelnut flavour in time for Christmas. I can’t think of any other [...]

New beefy Burts

November 24, 2010

I need not mention that I love crisps by now, I think you have probably already guessed that. So obviously it was a complete chore to try out the new seasonal Aberdeen Angus flavour from Burts. I’ve always loved the packaging of Burts crisps. Their crisps look so smart and colourful and even the material the [...]

Let’s all climb The Mango Tree

November 5, 2010

I was extremely, extremely excited about visiting The Mango Tree in Victoria. I’m a sucker for anything celeb-related or going anywhere that has featured on TV, so after seeing The Mango Tree on Gordon Ramsay’s Best Restaurant, I couldn’t wait to pay this Thai restaurant a visit. My first criticism* of The Mango Tree would [...]

My first taste of Vietnamese food…

October 27, 2010

Pho is a small chain of restaurants that serve up what they describe as typical Vietnamese street food. With four locations scattered over London and another in Brighton, they are gradually turning street food into a bustling, eating out hotspot. I’ve never tried out Vietnamese food before so was pretty excited about visiting Pho’s Soho branch. [...]

Trick or Treat

October 26, 2010

Halloween’s not just for children, why should they get all the fun? I’ve put together a few food and drink items I would like to have at a Halloween party in an ideal world (where it’s also sunny every day, I win the lottery and Matt from X Factor asks me to marry him.) Saturday [...]

An Absolut thing of beauty

October 25, 2010

  Absolut is launching a new, limited edition version of their vodka bottles. Absolut has always stuck to their classic bottle design, only varying the colour according to different flavours. Until now. This bottle is a thing of beauty. Look how the light glistens and shimmers on the indents of the bottle. Available to buy [...]
