Bruno Tonioli most of us know as a judge from Strictly Come Dancing, but growing up in Italy Bruno is also passionate about cooking and most importantly cooking then eating together with his family and friends. So it is no surprise that his Autumn range designed for QVC has a fantastic sharing and eating together feel to it. The range starting price at just £17 for the pepper mill. I love the pair of gorgeous rectangle … Read entire article »

Kenco Millicano Caff Free – Reviewed
Kenco Millicano Caff Free When Anya asked if I would like to try some Kenco Millicano Caff free, of course I said yes. After just this year starting drinking coffee after over 13 years of not touching it at all, I was finding I was loving the taste but more than one cup did give me a headache. After the getting the taste back I was a bit miffed about it. So when my Kenco Millicano … Read entire article »

Good Natured Fruit and Veg
Being a ‘Good natured’ person (!) I was quite sure I would love this company. Good natured is a company growing fruit, salad and veg in a good natured way. This means working with Mother nature and using natures pesticides one being one of my favourites ladybirds, to take control of the pests then eradicating the need for harmful pesticides. They were in fact the first U.K company to produce pesticide residue free fruit. Like lots of … Read entire article »

Sodastream – get busy with the fizzy!
When Hazel asked me if I would like to review a Sodastream, the first thing that came into my mind was the famous ‘get busy with the fizzy’ tune. The first time around for Sodastream we as a family were lucky enough to have one. I must have been 10ish so yes boo hoo nearly 30 years ago. I can remember the great excitement about having it and even more exciting using it and then drinking the fizz. So what has changed? Well the excitement from my two children remained the same as my excitement at their age. Considering all the fab things children have today this is a great sign. Other than that, they look a lot more modern. The one I tried was the Pure which is a rather sleek stainless steel … Read entire article »

National Picnic Week
Click here to review some picnic essentials. It is national picnic week this week and being a rather picnic fan thought I would celebrate it. In true British fashion so far we only have had one nice sunny day, which was my original idea for a review post how we can just think yep it is a nice day lets go for a picnic. At the age of about 8 I had a lovely picnic basket although made of plastic it contained all the plates and cups you needed for a child sized picnic. I really loved this and can clearly remember how brilliant it was to have a basket full of food and drink. We used to have regular picnic’s, not having a very big garden and living sandwiched between two parks it … Read entire article »

Easy or not vegetarian
Click here to read my review Is it me or are vegetarian meals a bit more work ? You do have to think a bit more, especially making sure you get all the nutrients you need. So far we have had Nettle Quiche made with a delicious potato pastry, gluten free as well but you can make it with regular flour too. It was classed as amazing by Bex my daughter, quite good by my less adventuress son Oscar and pretty dam delicious by Cam my husband and myself. Then there was lentil and cheese wedge, again rather splendid if I say so myself. We have had this before so was enjoyed by all. When I look at my menu I see cheese has featured pretty heavily on it. I have been trying out Butlers … Read entire article »
