Pesto: What a Gift
Pesto Recipe Ideas Shame on me! For I do not make my own pesto…Lord, my life sucks sometimes, I really ought to get it together to produce some home-made. It is not so difficult or time-consuming and there is plenty of advice and good looki (read full article)
Kusksu (Maltese Spring Soup)
I have mentioned on this blog before that I am half Maltese and I love eating and cooking Maltese food. I can cook a few things my mum has shown me and a few things from a book we got when we holidayed in Malta, but really I think my repertoire when (read full article)
Post 116: Gigantism of the Vegetables
It's been a little while since I posted my gardening progress. I have gigantism of the courgette and truly massive lettuce - so massive in fact it no longer looks like a lettuce. I gave one huge lettuce away to a lady at work who has a rabbit: but ap (read full article)

Given that we have a brand new family and, like a lot of you, are keen to save money, when Asda gave us a call to see if we’d like to try out their new Price Guarantee offer, we couldn’t say no. This new offer promises the cheapest supermarket s (read full article)

Marquis de Pennautier Cabardès Rosé 2009
Is it just me, or has the rosé wine bubble burst? Every year we hear that consumption increases by X%, and that it is more popular than ever. If that is the case, then why does my local Sainsbury's currently have the worst selection of rosé ever? (read full article)
Grandissime 'Grande Reserve' Bergerac Rouge 2009
This is a Bordeaux blend, red version of this.This wine had some character but wasn't really my cup of tea. Red wines this young always smell young - and to me it's a cheap smell. I recently learned this particular aroma is not just partial to chea (read full article)
Grandissime 'Grande Reserve' Bergerac Blanc 2009
Bergerac is a French wine region not too far from Bordeaux, and it produces wines from the same grape varieties. I'm not too experienced with it, but I suspect it may be a source of good-value wines that may have similar characteristics to the wines (read full article)
Louis Jadot Meursualt 2007
Sainsbury's has come up with the deal of the year. This wine normally goes for about £25, and it's on for half-price. That's not inflated either - this is proper wine.Everything adds up here, almost. Louis Jadot is a good name. 2007 was a good vi (read full article)
Chateau Palmer 'Alter Ego' 2004 Margaux
A big thanks to my sometime co-blogger Tom for bringing this over. It's on offer at Sainsbury's for just under £30. This is the second wine of Chateau Palmer, a third-growth Bordeaux.The full price of almost £45 is over-inflated, as it can be obt (read full article)
Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2008
This is a terrible wine. I think I mistook it for this. How I did that I'm not sure.It's almost the colour of a rose (not really unusual for a Pinot Noir), but it's also thin, acidic, and just generally grim. Really disappointing. I don't remember (read full article)
Chateau Simard St. Emilion 1995
A rare indulgence here. A 15-year old St. Emilion from Sainsbury's. I've mentioned it before, but my Sainsbury's has a 'fine wine' section, and I trust it - they have pretty good stuff in there. We decided to splash out on this - it was a good vin (read full article)
Maycas del Limari Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Encouraged by tasting the Maycas del Limari Syrah recently, I decided to try their Sauvignon Blanc, also on offer at Sainsbury's.Unfortunately it doesn't really measure up to the Syrah, although I wonder if it's just too old. It's a 2007, and I thin (read full article)
Sainsbury's Limited Release Clare Valley Riesling 2009
I was at a foreign (as in north London) Sainsbury's on Saturday, and I saw this on the shelf. A Sainsbury's 'Limited Release' Clare Valley Riesling. Regular price: £5. Offer price: £3.99. I've had a couple of other wines from this line, and som (read full article)
Mini Egg Tiffin
When I saw that Jam and Clotted Cream had posted a recipe for this Mini Egg Tiffin (originally posted by Butcher, Baker), I knew I had to make it this weekend, especially as it's a "no-bake" recipe and my fiancé absolutely loves Mini Eggs. Fortunate (read full article)
Prestige de Calvet Bordeaux 2008
Here we have Sainsbury's latest offering in the supermarket half-price Bordeaux arena. Why do I do this to myself? The answer is - for every few crap wines in this price/offer category you will unearth a genuine bargain, but you have to try them, o (read full article)
Maycas del Limari Syrah 2007
If anyone's disappointed with the premature end of the Sainsbury's Taste the Difference sale, then perhaps there's an alternative. This great value Chilean Syrah is on offer as well.Again, I can't be too accurate with the price, as I have this bad ( (read full article)
Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Alsace Gewurztraminer 2008
Another result from the current Sainsbury's Taste the Difference sale. Produced by the ever-reliable Cave de Turckheim, this delivers rich, floral flavour, full mouthfeel and a crisp freshness. I think Gewurztraminer is great - it's so different f (read full article)
