Ok, so I’m not doing the walking - but I am an essential member of the Support Crew. In fact, I think I’m Support Crew Leader - it’s early days give me a break!
How hard can it be I hear you ask, well after Saturday’s gurkha-led briefing I am terrified about letting our [...]
I’m sure that the answer should be Himself. But actually, right at this moment Ocado is closer to my heart!
They are delivering the ingredients for our ‘romantic’ Valentine’s meal very early tomorrow morning before work, despite my only having ordered them this morning. Truely, for the girl without wheels, they are a saviour! (Now I [...]
Writing about http://www.coventrymarket.co.uk/
Until last Saturday I hadn’t been to Coventry Market for ages. I’d forgotten how good it was - and in fact, it’s got even better!
You can still get the black and white pudding etc. (although better at the Irish shop in Empress Buildings I’m told) - but now you can also get a wide [...]
Is pangasius the new snoek? Well, being Friday, it has made a breadcrumbed appearance on the OU canteen menu.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for fighting the depletition of the North Sea. But I suspect this owes more to Brakes’s than it does to its oriental origins.
(Sorry, couldn’t resist it.) I am very much enjoying Channel 4’s Chicken Season so far and have booked the sofa for Friday night for the Jamie show.
One of the most interesting bits for me however has been watching the supermarket and farmers’ PR reactions.
Yesterday, for example, I received a letter from Judith Batchelor, Brand Manager [...]

A different tomato soup - and one which I am trying not to spill over my keyboard as I type.
Incidentally I was reading Lindsey Bareham’s A Celebration of Soup the other day, and she claims to have over 20 versions of pumpkin soup - there surely must be more. Mine never [...]
We had a fabulous time, and marched our way around the churches and museums and ate our way round the foccaherias, gelaterias, mercado, trattorias and ristoranti!
My top food places of the trip were:
Il Latini - Via dei Palchetti 6
Trattoria Marione - Via della Spada 27/r
Gelateria Carraira - at the Oltrano end of the [...]
Writing about Photo-Dieting
Weightwatchers get you to do trackers: food diaries.
Food diaries help you become more aware of your eating and activity habits, and problem areas. They give you a basis from which to plan changes and set goals, and allow you to look back and see what you’ve changed over time. This can be very [...]
Immediate apologies for the title of this post.
Today I have embarked, with a sense of due deprivation, on the Special K drop a jeans size thing.
It seems no less sensible than any other diet - at least in the short term as a bit of a kick start. And things have been lapsing [...]
Writing about Indian Food Made Easy
I remain to be convinced about buddy food programmes - Tony & Giorgio didn’t work but Neneh and Andi is much better - probably because they are very obviously genuinely friends and comfortable in front of the camera.
Anyway, I’ll give Anjum & Panthea a go…
But what intrigued me most was [...]
