ITs Food- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall at Ely Cathedral October 19, 2009I was lucky enough to go to a Topping & Company book even at Ely Cathedral the other day. My number one foodie hero, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, was appearing to talk about his new book; River Cottage Everyday. We arrived in Ely on a cold and blustery evening. The Cathedral is easy to find as it dominates [...]itsfood

- Quash the Squash September 14, 2009RSPCA Chickens let me know via their Twitter account about their Quash the Squash campaign. The welfare of meat chickens is under threat as the government decides on how to transpose new EU legislation on chicken welfare into law in England. We urgently need your help to ensure that it makes the right choice for chickens. It’s [...]itsfood

To get things going again here’s a new wine review! I saw this wine on offer at Sainsbury’s at the weekend. Reduced from £9.99 per bottle to £4.99 per bottle [...]itsfood
- Average Wine: McManis Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 October 28, 2008A “quicky” wine review for you all today. I got a couple of bottles of McManis Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 in a mixed wine half case from Tesco.com. McManis Family Vineyards are based in California and this wine seems to be another “Tesco exclusive”. As usual I expected a simple gluggable red with maybe [...]itsfood
- Cloudy Bay & Highfield 2006 Taste Test October 21, 2008The other weekend we did a blind tasting of 2006 Sauvignon Blanc’s from Highfield & Cloudy Bay. These are two of my favourite wines (Highfield being the better of the two) and both scored 5 stars. Both wines were lightly chilled and served before and during a meal. Over time a Sauvignon Blanc will [...]itsfood
- Great Wine: Villa Maria Private Bin Pinot Gris 2007 September 25, 2008Over the past 18 months or so I’ve heard great things about New Zealand Pinot Gris (related to the common Pinot Grigio). The word was that this was fast becoming the “new” Sauvignon Blanc and was well worth tracking down. Luckily I was in Waitrose the other day and managed to get my [...]itsfood
