Luxuriously Oatylicious Valentine’s Day Cookies

This Valentine’s Day, I am on a one-man mission to overthrow the tyranny of that clichéd box of chocolates; and there is nothing that says, “I actually (somewhat) care” more than baking your inamorato/inamorata a batch of white chocolate chip and blueberry cookies. Of course, this recipe is…

New Year, New Diet

So it’s the new year and the time of festive food has been and gone. You might breathe a sigh of relief at the thought of escaping the turkey sandwiches or anything else (un)creative that could be done to use up what couldn’t be consumed at Christmas Dinner.…

‘Ashun’ Restaurants

I derive a particular pleasure from dining at Asian restaurants. As I walk through China Town, torn between the smells and sounds emanating from the bowels of each kitschy establishment, my mind whirs with anticipation. It is not the prawn crackers, nor the delicately perfumed Jasmine tea, that…

A Little Comfort From The Cold

As we move into the winter months, sunglasses are being left at home and it’s time to don your hats and scarves and battle the cold weather.  But these well-loved items of knitwear aren’t the only way to warm up this winter. There are plenty of dishes to…

Ants anyone? Pass the bees please!

Fancy some deep fried locusts with a side of sautéed crickets? Scorpion soup with toasted ants anyone? It may sound like something from a ‘Bushtucker trial’, but it actually could become reality — or so the EU hopes. Having recently invested £2.65 million in a project promoting the…

The Living Room

Nestled in Lace Market, opposite the Pitcher and Piano, lies a restaurant. You may not have seen adverts for it, nor even be aware of its presence, but it may be (pardon the expression) one of Nottingham’s best kept secrets. It may seem from the very plush looking…

The Wisdom of a Hall Inhabitant

A magical moment dwells within reach of all catered hall residents, waiting to break free and shower those privy to its genius with the rich, heady flavours of its sacred knowledge. It is the moment in which a fantastical foodie revelation is born of gastronomical neglect. For decades,…

Nottingham Beer Festival 2011

Tom’s take. Returning with a few key differences, Nottingham Beer Festival 2011 is back and as good as ever. Tickets this year are £12.50 – for that you get all-day entrance, a special beer mug, and ten tokens. Whereas last year all the beer was served in halves,…
