I’d had rather an unhealthy lunch of a toasted tofu, Violife cheese, onion, sundried tomato, cucumber, srirarcha and salad cream sandwich which, thinking about it, probably isn’t that unhealthy but it was so gooey and delicious, at the time it seemed like the junkiest junk food ever. So junky IContinue Reading
Have you heard of matcha? It’s a green tea that comes in powdered form, is full of good stuff and I’ve got a friend who loves it and says it gives her a nice steady energy rise during the morning with no crash. It looks like this. Traditionally, matcha is drunkContinue Reading
The last time I went to a cocktail bar, it was so dark you couldn’t see the bottom of the stairs leading from the street to the bar, it was so noisy I almost gave away my age and asked for the music to be turned down and it wasContinue Reading
What a great idea – a vegetarian wine case, complete with a booklet of recipes to accompany the wine. Or does the wine accompany the food? Either way, I applaud Waitrose Cellar for coming up with this. I applaud them even further for sending me a case to try. TheContinue Reading

This was the second time I’ve ever had gin. The first time was in a goth club in Liverpool in 1989 when someone had smuggled a bottle in and I tried some. Actually, I’m not sure if I tried it or just smelt it. I definitely remember smelling it thoughContinue Reading
In Nature sent me some of their slim lotus tea to try. It comes in a beautiful box. And on the back of the beautiful box it says Lotus Teas may assist: Slimming Detoxify Cancer prevention Heart condition Anti-oxidant Anti-bactieral Constipation and I am deeply dubious about claims made onContinue Reading
