Luxury Items for the Home -Kitchen

July 2, 2013 by admin

Now, I am no great cook. I’m not Michel Roux or the oh so charming Michel Roux Jr and I’m never going to make it onto Masterchef. No, not me. I can still burn toast. In fact, this lunchtime, along with mackerel with lemon and sumac that Alexander wolfed down, I did manage to burn some chips that went straight into the bin. I have no patience; that’s my cooking downfall. Nevertheless, I’m a  responsible adult now with one, two, three or four mouths to feed (depending on whether you think it’s my responsibility to feed, apart from the obvious toddler PCG, Mr PCG, myself and the au pair- I’ll go for the toddler, myself and sometimes Mr PCG but to be honest he often cooks his own pasta whilst I eat my homemade chicken soup – elixir for the soul and new all round health boost diet).

In the Know – Luxury Products at Knockdown Prices -Taste

June 25, 2013 by admin

As you may know, having lost the City salary I am very conscious of our spending. So, every now and again I like to post on the bargains that I find. The value and the quality but at cheaper prices. Today’s little snippet is all about charcuterie and the prize for the best taste a low prices goes to the outsider again – Lidl. Their salami with fennel seeds, from their Deluxe collection is absolutely delicious and a offers very unique taste. From the same Deluxe collection try the Prosciutto Cotto, Crudo and the Bresaole.  Made in Italy with a taste to rival  your local up-market deli but at Lidl prices.  All at £1.99 – a bargain!

How to Throw a Last Minute Birthday BBQ in Style!

June 11, 2013 by admin
ocado

I’ve given myself more to do. Unavoidable really as it’s Mr Pregnantcitygirl’s Birthday. Our bank balance wasn’t what it was when I spent every day trudging in and out of the City at silly hours so less money = more effort! We have a BBQ every birthday. He is a BBQ nut, so no presents this year just a big party. Continue Reading

Organic Olive Leaf Tea – Boost Your Immune System. 400% more Anti-Oxidants than Green Tea!

May 31, 2013 by admin

So, I’ve found another miracle! Caffeine-free and delicious. Did you know that olive leaves make the most amazing tea? Neither did I. Used for many years as a natural anti-bacterial agent and now as a powerful anti-oxidant (400% more than green tea), thus a major support to the immune system. It is full of oleuropein, a highly beneficial substance, and is also antibiotic, anti-viral and anti-fungal.  It is therefore healing as well as preventative , also cleansing, calming and anti-inflammatory.

Things I Love – Design Greats for the Kitchen

May 3, 2013 by admin

Today I’ve decided to branch out with posts. I’m going all arty! Quite unusual for me as although I know what I like, I wasn’t blessed with the artistic gene!
As a tentative start, I’m going with something close to my heart ; food and drink. More precisely, coffee. Coffee has become a religion. With people no longer content with a cup of instant, the market has exploded.
For our part, my family, notably Mr Pregnantcitygirl, has a penchant for Nespresso. The machine takes pride of place in the kitchen and get a regular daily workout!
‘What does this have to with art’? I hear you ask. Well, the art is in the accessories. Quality coffee needs to be sipped in style and the choice is endless.
So, without further ado let me introduce you to my first design greats for the kitchen; the Espresso Cup!
My choice being from two leaders in this field; Whitbread Wilkinson and Bodum. Both conventional, simple but beautiful and a far cry away from a cardboard beaker with a plastic lid! Continue Reading
