One trick that I learnt, back in the heady days when I had more time to kill than responsibilities at work was how to read interesting stuff without being caught. When I worked for Employer Direct in a call centre, there were times when I wasn’t needed to be on the phone and I was [...]

Recipe Vintage: Resurrecting and Rescuing Recipes from the dark side cooking.
So here it is, my latest food-blogging project. I have been interested in food blogs and food writing for a couple of years now, and in my ongoing education in to writing about food, I have tried my hand at reviewing restaurants, cooking, photographing food and now I am looking at the fundamental part of [...]

Links for writers, some recent StumbleUpon discoveries
Like this post on Facebook So, like most of the weekend, I am still in bed resting whilst battling this nasty cold. When one is ill though there is a strong desire to do things that you could feel that are ‘productive’ or ‘useful’. However if you are off work then this means that you [...]

My first failed New Years Resolution…
…has been to write in this blog everyday. However, I have managed to write in my food blog more often then I thought. I have kept up my reading, and the weight loss thing seems to be going alright. So I wonder, was I being too ambitious? Writing in a blog like this, without specific [...]

The Future of Food Writing?
I want to talk about a very interesting point that came out of a discussion that was on The Food Programme (link to iPlayer) on Radio 4 yesterday. Blogger and critic Tim Hayward, said “anyone who has a contract, will have started as a blogger” on the change of how recipes are being digested and [...]

So you got an HD camera for Christmas?
…or you’ve just bought a device that lets you shoot in HD format, and you want to start making videos? http://vimeo.com/videoschool The Vimeo Video School is a collection of tutorials that give you the basics on shooting, editing and taking excellent videos.

Lots of Lovely Links. Well not lots but three.
So, whilst bed ridden (exaggeration really) but incapable of doing anything of any use to anyone, I have been on the internet. Actually I have been watching films too, but I woke up this morning and felt so hideous I couldn’t move. It was almost as bad as being sat on by a five ton [...]

Moving to my own server / Shameless
I am going to start this post off with a recommendation. www.freehostia.com is a great little hosting service that lets you create your own website and has an easy-peesy php script installation tool for installing those much loved applications such as WordPress. Even better, you can get it for free with a not too stingy [...]

Spend Spend Spend…your way out of the recession?
I have been avoiding writing about this, as there are already enough bloggers having their two cents about this. The bloggers worth reading are those who are actually economists such as Prof. Greg Mankiw or Tim Harford‘s blog hosted by the FT. Why do I say that?, beecause I could gurantee you that most people don’t [...]
