Foxs festive biscuit collection Christmas 2011
There is something much more shareable about a tin, or box, of biscuits – and something much more indulgent about musing over which one to choose, as Joanna Biddolph discovered when testing Fox’s new festive collections.
Movember Round Up
Movember seems to be big news this year, with everybody seeking to reward the facially hirsute with all manner of goodies. The hipsters of Shoreditch must be rubbing their hands together in glee. To help you make the most of this, we’ve rounded up some of the offers available. Least we forget, it’s all for a good cause as Movember raises money and awareness for men’s health issues.
Artisan The Heart of Coffee – Putney
It took 8 months for the couple to find the perfect location for what would become their newest enterprise, Artisan, an independent café specialising in the one thing so many others can’t seem to get right, coffee. A space in Putney fit the bill and was far enough away from the coffee franchises that litter the high street, the places they were trying to avoid.
Hawksmoors_breakfast_treats
Bone marrow at 8am? Foodepedia mans up for a proper breakfast treat in the City at Hawksmoor’s Guildhall branch.
Patara Thai, Soho
If you like Thai food then you’ll love Patara and if you don’t then I’d give it a shot anyway because you might just change your mind. It’s a good-looking venue and a great place to meet up with friends for some relaxing indulgence and a few bottles of lovely Singha beer – service is assured and the food demonstrates enough skill to put it head and shoulders above much of the competition
Allegra McEvedy Bought, Borrowed & Stolen
Ignore the hideous photographs, and self-indulgent waffle, and you might find some recipes you’ll want to cook again and again in this astonishingly big book, suggests Joanna Biddolph.
