The Gunton Arms Norfolk Review

The Gunton Arms Norfolk Review

It is strange to compare a couple of points with two very different areas; Norfolk and France’s Alsace.  Neither is really on the way to anywhere so it is peaceful and most roads are uncrowded, but both have a few touristic centres which have rather too many people visiting in the high season.  I would add that both have some stunning scenery and other interesting features which make them both very desirable areas to visit.

Loch Lomond Whisky Single Malt Tasting

Loch Lomond Whisky Single Malt Tasting

Loch Lomond Whisky is a Highland single malt distillery in Alexandria, Scotland. The master blender is Michael Henry, who created the selection of single malt, single grain and blended whiskies under the guidance of renowned master blender John Peterson.
The distillery uses cylindrical copper pot stills that permit production of alcohol at a higher ABV than usual, up to 90% ABV. This allows a wide range of flavours that can be selected to produce the final single malt.

Film Review: Revolution - New Art For A New World

While BBC Four delves into the art, architecture and music of the period, a selection of commissioned programmes examine this significant historical event and its continued impact on society.

Women Entrepreneurs: Erin Moroney: Nibble Protein Bites

So we all know the story. A blogger starts making a recipe in his/her kitchen, attracts a ton of followers, is wooed by corporate, then brings a healthy product to market, right? Wrong. If only it was that straight forward. . .
Nibble Protein Bites, the new must-have, lower sugar, high protein snack, was created out of necessity by founder, Erin Moroney.  And annoyingly the final recipe came quite a while after the idea (about 300+ recipe versions later!).
