GIVE US THIS DAY…

By Nigel Napier-Andrews on April 27, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )

I’ve been searching for flour and yeast since the first days of panic buying, but it disappeared faster than toilet paper. Now, I’ve come across a very small supply of both and […]

COMFORT FOOD IS ON THE WAY

By Nigel Napier-Andrews on April 20, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )

All the food I’ve been cooking while in lock-down has been comfort food. And it’s working! I’m feeling comforted. I’ve also put on 11.5 lb. A less than welcome outcome, but who […]

A BURGUNDY GAMBAL

By Jim Walker on March 16, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )

Like many tipplers, our wine scribe Jim Walker has long adored the wines of Burgundy. But, when he began his wine importing business, he never imagined that one day he might represent […]

OUR PORTUGUESE CULINARY JOURNEY BEGINS

By Nigel Napier-Andrews on March 8, 2020 • ( 5 Comments )

With a five-day window in our upcoming trip to UK, we’re trying to think of somewhere in Europe to visit; a cheap, quick flight to an intriguing destination, where we’ve never been, […]

FAKE MEAT! REALLY!

By Nigel Napier-Andrews on March 2, 2020 • ( 2 Comments )

CAVORTING IN COSTIÈRES DE NÎMES

By Jim Walker on February 24, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )
