I stayed in a tent for three days and drank cheap stubbies of French beer for breakfast before playing the worst gig of my life to an aircraft hangar full of bikers.…

Seafood can be pretty scary to the uninitiated, and until recently I was a bit skeptical myself.

I decided a long time ago that the sea is not for me; I can’t swim for starters, but even if I could, …

Berry. Hollywood. Perkins. Other one whose name I can’t spell. Crème Pat. Bin related tantrums. It can only mean one thing: Great British Bake Off is back…

Now, as a 30-something straight man with all the baking ability of a …

Festival season. A chance to revel in the sights, sounds and unholy stench of your fellow man, catch a few bands and overload your system with a variety of mind-altering substances.

But, alas, since entering the crushing ball-ache of middle-aged …

The great British local. That pub within walking distance of home where the barman knows what you want before you do, and everyone knows your name except that weird drunk guy who never, ever leaves.

See the thing is, I never thought I’d say …

Everyone should visit a beer festival at some point in their life.

Now, you may be thinking that they’re full of potbellied middle-aged men with unkempt beards and leather waistcoats downing suspiciously coloured pints of dubiously-titled-tipples like Bishop’s Finger and …

I have a very complex relationship with Jamie Oliver.

I love his food. 15 Minute Meals is currently my go-to recipe book when I can’t be bothered to look anywhere else, and you have to admire anyone who single-handedly took …

When I was growing up during the 80s and 90s, the world of food was a very different place.
