Ever wondered what to do with those tasty dregs left over from last night’s dinner party?
I was beginning to feel guilty knowing the half bottle of d’Arenberg’s Stump Jump Sticky Chardonnay was further oxidising in my fridge door so, having gone way past drinking and not wanting to see the remainder down the drain, I threw together a simple summer …

I am a sucker for food traditions and am always rather sad that in the UK, Easter has become a celebration of mainstream chocolate bars in ovoid form. Roast lamb is often touted as traditional but it hardly catches the imagination like a Christmas goose, and when was the last time you made a Simnel cake?
All of which makes me love Easter …

The provenance of our food is an increasingly important aspect for many people when eating out, especially when it comes to meat, so it was great to see one of our favourite London restaurants, Trinity in Clapham, inviting its customers to celebrate the start of summer with Pig Week.

Picnic Food – what better way to eat outdoors? Take simple ingredients and a picture perfect setting, put together the things you want to eat in the sunshine; fresh vibrant tomatoes, soft stone fruits, crusty breads and smelly cheeses, to name but a few. A picnic is not a truly successful occasion unless you have sticky fingers and a huge mess to …

Following a week of wall to wall sunshine in the UK, bbq season has started early! However in keeping with true English weather, it has already disappeared as quickly as it arrived.

Al fresco …

This is the third time we’ve been to this seafood restaurant located in Sok Kwu Wan, the largest fishing farm in Hong Kong, and each time it has got consistently better. Rainbow Seafood Restaurant opened in 1984 as a small family run 40 seater restaurant. Now over two decades later it has become …

I’m not really good at queuing, despite my solid British genes queuing has never been a forte of mine. I’m a very impatient person and especially so when it comes to food – I hate waiting for food…This trait of mine makes it all the more difficult to understand why we …
