National Curry Week (8-14 October) first started by focusing on restaurants to promote "Britain's favourite dish" and raise charitable funds for the malnourished and disaster stricken on the sub continent. Gradually with new sponsors Patak's and S&A Foods with Asda, the message spread to cover the dine at home fans and still further to takeaway fans with CurriesOnline and hungryhouse.co.uk.
Gluten can hide in the most unusual places and if you have intolerant issues or coeliacs then you will be very aware of the need to scrutinise everything that you eat or drink. So it may come as a surprise to know that 10% of coffee contains a protein that can cross react with gluten antibodies. And it is no good switching to decaffeinated - because this has nothing to do with the caffeine.
The Spirit of Christmas Fair in association with House & Garden is London's exclusive shopping experience, packed full with exquisite, unique gifts and treats you will rarely find on the high street. Taking place 30th October - 4th November against the stunning backdrop of Kensington's London Olympia, it provides the most discerning of shoppers the chance to shop, dine and socialise in style.

It's uniquely British, it's fresh and it's bursting with flavour. It's produced with natural ingredients, has over 1,000 different 'flavour compounds' - and it’s what puts the British pub in a league of its own. So it is hardly surprising that pubs, breweries, foodies and drinkers are keen to celebrate cask ale in a week designated specially for the purpose.
