It seems ironic that the day I sit down to write this review (of an amazing business, may I add), it is International Women’s Day. Fate? I think so. Especially when the brains behind the business, Katie, is a wonderful, bubbly lady, and the product in question is aimed at the legendary female species forContinue reading “Graze & S’more Mother’s Day Box”

The New Amsterdam, Barnstaple
You know that very common British phrase of “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”? Well, I have a suggestion, or maybe, you could call it an improvement. So here it is: we swap the word apple for pizza. I know a daily pizza probably isn’t the best idea and would send us toContinue reading “The New Amsterdam, Barnstaple”
Bidefood Fest 2023
If there’s one thing that makes Christmas, Christmas, it’s a Christmas market (buckle up; one sentence in and the “C” word has already been mentioned three times). My inner festive feelings won’t even begin to emerge until that first market has been visited. Luckily for me and the whole of Bideford, Lucy of Epic EventsContinue reading “Bidefood Fest 2023”
Graze Me Up Afternoon Tea Box
When it comes to “grazing”, a few things spring to mind that make me feel very happy and content: sitting at a Spanish beachside bar eating tapas in the mid afternoon whilst soaking up some much needed Mediterranean vitamin D; making my way to the buffet for a second (maybe third, don’t judge) plateful atContinue reading “Graze Me Up Afternoon Tea Box”
Beyond Veganuary Evening
‘Veganuary’ seems to be the modern nickname given to the first month of the year thanks to the probable over indulgence that took place during the December festivities. We’ve all been there; numerous social occasions enjoying a glass (or bottle, oops) of prosecco, opening the mega sized tin of miniature chocolates a bit early andContinue reading “Beyond Veganuary Evening”
Chocolate and Hazelnut Protein Flapjacks
It’s that time again everyone! Oh yes! That time when my eyes cannot stay clear of the sad looking bananas in the supermarket that are crying out to be utilised in something sweet and yummy. If you’ve followed me for a while, you will know that means the ever faithful banana flapjacks! I can justContinue reading “Chocolate and Hazelnut Protein Flapjacks”
Korea Town Kitchen Seafood Experience
As is now pretty much always the case, it is a Wednesday morning on my day off from pub-restaurant life and my brain starts reminiscing over the memories of a gorgeous local takeaway meal that I unfortunately had to share with Rob, the Saturday evening before Christmas Day. Saturday is just the perfect night forContinue reading “Korea Town Kitchen Seafood Experience”
Fat Boy Fudge: The Mega Box
When it comes to the alphabet, many of my favourite words begin with the letter ‘F’: food (obviously); flannel I just think is hilarious; fcuk, for obvious reasons; and finally, fudge, but not for the initial sweet treat reason you may think. Many years ago as a freshly graduated student, I fell into a jobContinue reading “Fat Boy Fudge: The Mega Box”
One Tray Spiced Squash, Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup
There’s nothing quite like starting the New Year, or any year in fact, with a huge, warming bowl of homemade soup. Normally because outside it is cold, wet, windy and just generally not very inviting; I am 100% a summer person! Another reason for wanting to put my face into a huge bowl of smoothContinue reading “One Tray Spiced Squash, Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup”
Bideford Christmas Food and Drink Festival
Of all the things that can give you a big nudge of festive spirit, a crisp morning at a Christmas market that is showcasing a plentiful amount of food and drink stalls is top of my list. I absolutely love a Christmas market! They make my stomach and liver as happy as a Christmas ElfContinue reading “Bideford Christmas Food and Drink Festival”
