New bars are fantastic Moos for chocolate lovers
FANCY a bit of luxurious Milka chocolate but not hungry enough to eat the whole 100g bar? Then you will be delighted to hear that the company are releasing all their products in small 45g bar sizes right in time for Easter – great moos if ever you heard it!
All the features of a country pub...in the middle of Birmingham!
A SMALL pub situated in the heart of a bustling city centre hardly seems like the kind of place you can visit to enjoy good food and walking through the doors of the recently refurbished Windsor, the busy atmosphere that greeted me only planted further doubts in my mind as to the quality of what was on offer.
A beautiful taste sensation
CHOCOLATE is a gift that you just cannot go wrong with and as per usual master chocolatier Lindt has come up with a number of tasty new products that will make ideal this stocking fillers this festive season.
Peppermeister is the must-have mill
DINNER parties are all the rage during the festive season and nothing will prompt excited conversation quite like the peppermeister as you host your family dinners.
Vodka definitely has a place in my freezer
THINK of Vodka and most experts in this acquired taste will tell you the finest drops come from Russia and Poland and that they will be made from potato leavings.
These tasty treats cake some beating!
NOTHING uplifts a mood quite like the smell of freshly baked cakes and the rich aroma that greeted your usual Friday morning restlessness as you faced one final day of work before the weekend was both welcome and delicious!
Exhausting the beers and toying with the crowds at the Good Food Show
Myself, my partner and our six month old daughter attended the event at the NEC on Saturday13th June.
Seafood that really is second to none
THE doom mongers will have you believe in these difficult financial times that people are shunning the restaurant and staying at home.
Taste of the exotic is order of day at this great family restaurant
HAVE you tried Riverboat Tilapia Fillets? Or Succulent Sahara Chicken? Maybe Kilimanjaro Lamb Chops? These are just some of the exotically named dishes on the imaginative menu at Mogo Grill and Juice in Solihull’s Touchwood Centre.
Restaurant with the real X factor
FROM time to time you stumble across a restaurant that really does have the X-factor.
Perfect setting for a leisurely Sunday lunch
ONE of my favourite days of the week has to be Sunday, for this day is one of rest - and the fine institution that is the Great British Sunday Lunch. Not a natural Nigella or Gordon Ramsay, I’m always on the lookout for the perfect fare at well-established restaurants to fulfil my Sunday craving.
Restaurant is a Must for food lovers
AS we hear every day on every news bulletin, the credit crunch is hitting most people very hard. That means those little treats, the ones that, at times, keep us going, have become more infrequent as we tighten our belts and ‘cut our cloth accordingly’.
Food that really hits the mark
I HAVE had the pleasure (some times!) of reviewing restaurants and the food they dish out for almost 12 years. Yet, only the other week I was asked for the very first time what my definition of a good restaurant is.
