Another lovely giveaway for my readers to enter - this time, for a month’s supply of Greenvale Farm Fresh Potatoes and a pretty Jamie Oliver baking dish to roast them in. We love potatoes in our house. Any leftovers get thrown into soups to thicken them up or turned into a potato salad the next day. Greenvale Farm [...]

They make cordials, pressés and fruit crushes from their home and have been doing so since the seventies. They use fresh flowers, as well as fruits and spices and [...]
I had the pleasure of meeting Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi at their home when I took a pasta class with Katie Caldesi in 2011. At the time, Katie had just published a book called The Italian Cookery Course, which was one of my favourite books of 2011. Since then, Katie and Giancarlo have continued to be [...]

The main reason, I’m sure, is the prohibitive [...]
Have you ordered your turkey yet? My butcher told me this week that there has been an unprecedented demand for free range, high welfare birds this year, which makes me feel very happy. Finally, we are starting to care about how our meat and poultry is reared and we’re also realising that a really good quality bird [...]
I always love to hear about new local ventures, particularly those set up by enterprising clever mums thinking of business ideas from home. I spotted a new company recently via Facebook called Candy Stripe Party, an online party boutique. The business was set up by two mums called Thea and Kate who live very close to me. It turns [...]
As we edge closer to December, thoughts of Christmas start to pick up speed. I’m not so keen on the stress of last minute present shopping, but I do always look forward to menu planning, decorating and oddly enough, to table setting. I’m also on a drive to buy locally this year, so I’ve ordered [...]
