Snake Cake

Written by

Francesca Pitcher from North Star Cakes in Kent created this Burmese python cake for her daughter's birthday and put a picture on her Facebook page - and before she knew it the photo began to spread around the world. As we get into the new Great British Bake-off and have already seen a cake that can be seen from space, we might be adding a few more here. If you want to order a Snake Cake or read the funny comments on her page, have a quick look.

Chocolate Taster has to give up his job...?!

Written by

Angus Kennedy had a job some people would consider a dream - £30,000 a year tasting chocolate. But he was warned that his cholesterol level was becoming 'dangerously high' after his role required him to eat up to 2lbs of cocoa-covered sweets that included ants and aphrodisiac lollipops - every day.  Mars and Nestle relied on his experience and his sophisticated palate to sample new treats and Angus would then write about the products in the trade journal -  Kennedy's Confection. But the high-calorie diet caused his weight to balloon and doctors warned he risked a heart attack if he carried on. Read more in the Telegraph...

Jamie's at it again...

Written by

...this time with a Food Revolution Day on 19th May. This is what he says ' It's a chance for people who love food to come together to share information, talents and resources; to pass on their knowledge and highlight the world’s food issues. All around the globe, people will work together to make a difference. Food Revolution Day is about connecting with your community through events at schools, restaurants, local businesses, dinner parties and farmers' markets. We want to inspire change in people’s food habits and to promote the mission for better food and education for everyone.'  Look here for an event near you, or if you're in Russia, there are some there too - shame - there aren't any in the Caribbean.

It's big in Taiwan

Written by
Up the road is a Taiwanese supermarket that sells bubble tea, it looks a bit like it has frogspawn in it - no doubt it will be the Next Big Thing. I haven't tried it, but I did buy some other interesting stuff, including the green grass jelly.

School Dinners (but in the staff room)

Written by
I have just visited a school where there was a Spanish cook in the staff room, making home-made meatballs and salad for the teachers as they came in for breaks. It's a long time since I have been in a staff room but this one has changed my mind...from nescafe and cheap biscuits to tapas - 7am to 5pm every day.

Meanwhile in London...

Written by
...wherever I go I see Suffolk produce. Belly of Blythburgh pork is being roasted in the local pub, Adnams and Aspalls are everywhere. The Sunday market on Colombia Rd is selling roast turkey rolls wirth stuffing and cranberry - organic of course - and I think finally we might be seeing the end of those revolting over-iced cupcakes in favour of a nice bit of crumpet. It should be served on old Denbyware so if you've got anything like this at home - it's coming back!
