After the roaring success of CarFest North, Chris Evans and his crew are now revving up for this holiday weekend's CarFest South 23rd - 25th August taking place at Laverstoke Park Farm near Basingstoke in Hampshire. The three-day extravaganza will be once again crammed with fun for all the family, with Evans right at the heart of the action.
Lisa's - a stylish new contemporary Swedish restaurant and bar - has arrived in London's uber fashionable Notting Hill area. Located at 305 Portobello Road, Lisa's delivers a unique culinary experience coloured by owner Lisa Wallén's Swedish roots and childhood memories. Every dish is made with ingredients selected from Lisa's Scandinavian pantry and the menu is dictated by Sweden's four distinct seasons of the year and the style is one of rustic food, prepared with a modern simplicity.
Bring a touch of Rio sunshine and a flavour of Brazil to your palate, with Galeto's refreshing Strawberry 'Sundowner' Caipirinha - the perfect way to toast the end of summer. Evoking images of the sun drenched Ipanema beach and warm Brazilian evenings, this flavoursome blend is guaranteed to lift your spirits, even if the heat wave fails to re-appear.
A few days ago we were basking in the Summer sun, enjoying drinks and bbq's in the garden, looking for ways to keep cool. Now as we sit looking out on to a bleak day of drizzle and cloud it seems almost too early to be discussing Christmas but the onset of Autumn is only two weeks away. And if Autumn is upon us then Christmas will be following close on its heels.
Garlic, basil and ice-cream really aren't ingredients that we would put in the same bowl but it seems that Yummy Yorkshire have done just that and managed to create flavour combinations that are worthy of Great Taste Award Gold Stars.
Congratulations to our winner - Mandy Doherty (Lancashire) - Sharron Jackson (Norfolk) - Vicky Ritson (Buckinghamshire).
