I watched a short news clip this week, about a new trial taking place in Blackpool, England, offering primary pupils a free school breakfast. Blackpool is not the first place to test such a scheme, in Wales, over 75% of children now enjoy a free breakfast at school after a similar scheme was implemented in 2004 by the Welsh government. This year, [...]

The Independent described it as “Britain’s new big cheese. Ultra-soft, creamy burrata is replacing mozzarella as the grande formaggio [...]
Loving food as I do, one of the activities I enjoy the most is eating out. Unfortunately, having two children under five as well ever increasing expenses, dining out is a luxury rather than a weekly occurrence. However, I was lucky enough to be asked to review some of the restaurants in the Soho House Group for [...]
One of the culinary highlights of 2011 for me was taking a pasta class with Katie Caldesi in her home in Buckinghamshire. The voucher for the course was a birthday present from my husband, earning him lots of brownie points! I learnt how to make fresh pasta for the first time and was introduced to some [...]
