Read MoreWe are in the middle of summer and it is time to get your barbecue up and running and ready for Greek souvlaki. Meat or vegetable skewers cooked on a charcoal barbecue will achieve a smoky flavour with a crispy
Read MoreIt’s July and the outdoors is THE place to be. Although we happily drink rose wine throughout the year, summer is when it arguably takes centre stage. We’ve got an exciting Welsh Rose Petal Gin to start, a Rose
Read MoreHurrah we can eat out and meet with friends – being very cautious who we hug of course. It was all well and good being able to eat out last month, but realistically with the weather bringing the coldest May
Read MoreJune is upon us and summer is well on its way. How about a racy Gruner Veltliner for summertime sipping along with a fresh and lively iconic rose. A rich and full Portuguese red wine for those evening barbecues may
Read MoreThis month, private chef Christos shares his recipe for a true comfort food – a traditional Greek casserole. Here Christos uses beef but the original recipe would prob-ably have used rabbit or pork, alternatively you could use chicken thighs. Whichever

Read MoreThis is the sort of recipe that can be made so quickly from store cupboard ingredients. Prawns are always worth keeping in the freezer to add a bit of luxury to a mid-week meal, and feta cheese keeps for ages
