Local Food (and Beer) Hero: Taplow’s Moog Brew
There’s a change in the wind and a whisper in the streets of Taplow. It wasn’t until I visited the home, tiny beer-garden and micro-brewery of Margi and Id, founders of Moog Brew that I realised how incredible their enterprise really is. Trading for 2 […]
Royal Virundhu: Maidenhead
There are people who ‘love curry’ and then there are people who actually love Indian cuisine. I’d had two recommendations to try the Royal Virundhu on Queen St in the last few months – which is usually enough for me to try something out for […]
How to Choose a Chef’s Knife
Last year I broke my knife. I’d had it for going on 10 years and I was faced with the formidable task of buying a new one. There was no joy in this virtual shopping trip because, as with so many things these days, there […]

For most folks, life these days feels busy. Busier than it ever felt before. I blame the Internet for everything; for making life feel so hectic, applying pressure to be and say and do and share all the time and it piles up incrementally until […]
Prosciutto di San Daniele and Grana Padano
When I got the opportunity to try Prosciutto di San Daniele and Grana Padano I eagerly awaited their arrival, even resorting to stalking my post man, when I’d missed the delivery. This is one package that couldn’t survive in the depot over night. These two items for me, are […]
Book Review: Saffron Soul by Mira Manek
I recently had the epiphany that for me, there’s no point in buying a recipe book from a restaurant chef. I don’t want to cook like a chef and when I’m at home I don’t want to eat like I’m at a restaurant. When a […]
Get Mor out of Your Sausage
I don’t normally like to post about new food on the market without offering up some kind of recipe to get everyone inspired. But for this particular product, I genuinely feel that they are best enjoyed unadulterated. MOR are a new line of sausages that launched at […]
