Peppadew cheese puffs - perfect Christmas canapésJust like living with other people, living alone is something every adult should experience for themselves. Living with other people teaches you about compromise and consideration for others; living alone teaches you about self-reliance and liking your own company.

A hot chilli sauce tasting - 5 sauces comparedOne of the things that has always fascinated me about the human senses is that you can never be entirely sure that you see, smell, hear, feel or taste anything precisely the same way as another person.

Steak on a blue cheese, spinach & pecan risottoAs I have said before, I do love a good simile. One of my favourite wine-related similes is this: Men are like a fine wine.
