The Ultimate Summer Picnic
 If you go down to the woods today, you can be sure of one thing. A couple of sandwiches, packet of crisps and promise of a Mr Whippy just won’t cut it. Especially if you’re keen to keep the adults and children accompanying you happy. And what a choosy bunch they are nowadays. There’re the health-conscious, seasonal-only eaters, vegetarians, gluten/wheat/dairy etc intolerants and the just plain fussy to cater for.
So recreating the ultimate picnic atmosphere might be tricky, all happy smiles and flowing anecdotes; kites that fly and well behaved children. Preparing the perfect feast to accompany it? Not so impossible. I’ve tried and tasted a number of potentially picnic worthy foods and soft drinks – with the help of some friends – to take the hard work out of the ‘what to pack?’ dilemma. So, all you need to decide on is who to invite and where to go.

Barry's In A Pickle - Onions From Film Critic Norman
 Celebrities putting their name to products is a long-established business worldwide. Endorsements, merchandise, even their own creations, the list is endless and can encompass anything from clothing to vehicles, DVDs to books and even beauty products.
But celebrities endorsing foodstuffs? That's a little different, unless we're talking diet products. I mean, you don't expect those in the glare of the public eye to actually admit EATING like the rest of us plebs, do you?

Time Tripping with Bompas & Parr
 Jellymongers Bompas & Parr join forces with Courvoisier to present The Complete History of Food...
Where Bompas and Parr are concerned, the only thing to expect is the unexpected. Their latest stunt, The Complete History of Food, has to be their most adventurous yet, though, making gingerbread Gherkins and jelly sculptures seem comparatively run of the mill.

Gordon Ramsay’s Seriously Good Sauces
 To get the obvious out the way first, Seriously Good Sauces are part of Comic Relief. 10p from each jar (RRP £1.89) goes to charity, so we must all buy as much as we can as it’s all-in-a-good-cause.
Having said that, only stuff with a really special punch of flavour can stand out in the crowded aisle of cooking sauces, so maybe you’d be better with Tesco’s value and give some change to the chugger?

Eating At Sea: An International Foodie’s Dream
 Travelling and food are two of life’s main pleasures, but it’s not that you get to do both at the same time, not in style at least.
Let’s face it first class on trains hardly extends beyond the leg room, and certainly doesn’t make the food much better; the extra cash doesn’t equate to a similar hike in culinary quality.

Wagamama’s Sizzling Summer Menu
 I love Wagamama! I always have. I remember back in the day when they only had two restaurants in central London and both of them had massive queues coming out on to the street every evening.
Not much has changed since then, despite being a global brand and (dare I say it) chain, Wagamama has managed to retain credibility and their food tastes as good as ever. Which brings me on to their 2010 summer menu…

Gloriously delicious... The new Glorious fresh soup range
 Given that I couldn’t quite eat all of them at once I invited my parents round for a soup supper. I can certainly give the thumbs up to the more “meaty” soups such as Spanish Tomato & Chorizo, Toulouse Sausage & Bean and Tuscan Chicken & Orzo (representing Spain, Italy and France).
They were flavourful without being overpowering and light enough for either a quick lunch or supper without feeling overloaded. I had the whole container, which is quite adequate for a hungry person.
