    Make eating in the new eating out with our must-have food gift ideas this January

    January 21, 2021 / No Comments

    Let’s face it, endless Netflix and homemade banana bread were fun at first. But this latest lockdown has us, and our taste buds, looking for something new to try. And just because eating out at a pub or restaurant isn’t possible right now, doesn’t mean our inner foodies have to go ignored. In fact, since the beginning of lockdown, there have been some fascinating changes to the way people cook and eat. According to the IGD, a research and training charity at the heart of the food and consumer goods industry, over 37% of people have been cooking more from scratch than they did before lockdown. The dining room table…

    Make Veganuary a real treat – Vegan experiences to enjoy at home

    January 1, 2021 / No Comments

    Loosened the waistband over the festive period? Veganuary (Vegan + January) is a chance to rejuvenate yourself with nutritious and delicious plant-based meals.  It’s no secret that vegan diets have boomed in recent years. They’ve jumped up from just 150,000 of the UK population to 600,000 in as little as five years. Seen as the ethical, environmental and health-conscious option, being vegan is a lifestyle choice that appeals to many.  And January is the ideal time to give plant-based eating a go. After mounds of chocolates, mince pies and turkey leftovers have been tempting you in December, you can use January to bring some zen to your diet. Lighter meals…

    14 gift ideas that won’t get regifted this December

    December 2, 2020 / No Comments

    We’ve all received, and probably given, gifts that call on our poker face skills. Finding good Christmas gifts can be tricky, particularly if you’re shopping for someone with discerning tastes. Unsurprisingly, more than half of us have received unwanted gifts, according to a survey by Finder.com. Whether it’s a loud jumper from your gran or a helmet from Dad for the bicycle you sold two years ago, some Christmas presents just don’t hit the mark. These well-meaning gifts can be expensive too; the average unsuitable gift costs £47.10 and we receive an average of three every year. As a nation, we’re thought to be spending more than £5 billion every…

    Christmas comes early for a young unsung hero

    November 25, 2020 / No Comments

    Did you know that there are 800,000 young carers in the UK today? At secondary school age, these children look after at least one relative with disability, illness or mental health condition – sometimes spending up to 30 hours a week on care. Meet Young Carer, Ian Ian, age 16, from London is just one. Since the age of 13, he’s been a full-time carer for his mum, who suffered a posterior circulation stroke, and his younger brother, who has autism. Every day, and without hesitation, Ian manages household chores from cooking meals to cleaning and tending to his brother, on top of his busy school schedule. “I’m very proud…
