Eat well - travel often
Jordans have been flour millers for over 150 years and in 1972 brothers Bill and David Jordan began making cereals from their mill in Biggleswade in Bedfordshire and one of my favourites has always been Original Crunchy and now Country Crisp. All their products are […]
It doesn’t matter if you have a Vitamix, a Cuisinart Soup Maker or any other make or even if you just have a large pot but just make yourself some home made soup. It is so easy to make a good quality and delicious soup […]

Knorr has introduced a new range of restaurant style recipe mixes. In true Knorr style they are simple to prepare and usually use everyday ingredients to make sure you have a really delicious dinner. The new ranges comprises Baking Bags, Foil Steam Pouches, Gourmet […]
