One lost appetite: Help! This is definitely not a good thing to happen to a Food Blogger, especially to me, Astrid. Lover of food, fine wines, (OK, cheap wines as well), meat, fish, shell-fish (not allowed at all at the moment),chocolate (too sweet now), even water! This is all down to the latest Chemo drug […]
We are in Smoked Salmon Heaven, after eating the best Smoked Salmon and Gravad Lax we have ever eaten, and all from an amazing Smoke House only a few miles away from where we live. One of the items on my 5 year old grandson’s (Archie) Christmas wish list for food to be eaten at our […]

Malton Food Lovers Festival – On our first ever visit to the Malton Food Lovers Festival a few weeks ago we were bowled over by the quality of the food suppliers and their produce. The ancient marketplace was overflowing with tents, rows of food stalls and areas to sit down and enjoy some of the Street […]
For decades Astrid and I have been immersed in all things foodie. The complexity of flavours, the challenge of marrying love, skill, respect for ingredients and visual flair, sourcing rare recipes and their components and, well, you get the picture. So when someone says “and then you add…” we always hope to hear a new […]
Spring is almost here and my mind turns towards lighter days, lighter foods and lighter wines to enjoy. Goodbye roast beef and burgundy for a while and hello to chicken salad on a sunny day with a glass of Astrid’s favourite chilled Percheron Viognier/Chenin Blanc from our good friend Geoff Walker and his wine importing […]
