There’s no doubt that Christmas is a time for indulgence. The festive season goes hand in hand with food, drink and general merriment. We often present each other with boxes of chocolates, give children sweets and lay on hug roast dinners for friends and family – so why is so hard when it comes to wine?! Is handing over a bottle of plonk an easy option for the in-laws? Do you spend hours trawling for that special bottle that reminds a loved one of a favourite holiday? Can you really get away with buying that three for £10 offer and divvying them up? According to a new study from Gallo wine more than three quarters of us say we’d buy someone a bottle of wine for Christmas and around a third of us say we’d like to receive one as a gift – but a quarter of people say they never know what to spend on a bottle of wine as present or they get confused or daunted by the wide selection that’s on offer. Furthermore 16% of people reckon that wine is such a personal thing that they’d find it almost impossible to choose something suitable for someone else. So, is wine an “easy” gift this Christmas? Does it get you out of an uninspired present drought? Or are you at risk of getting something so revolting you’ll be struck off your mate’s Christmas card list for life – or worse get offered it when you go round on New Years Day? Joe Wadsack can reveal how to get it right and how to be brave in the supermarket aisle.

D is for DAMN GOOD! Dates are cute, wrinkly, healthy, sweet and yummy little buggers! A great raw choice for sugar! I remember the first time I ate a real date—not the crusty cigar kind you find in lame groceries. A real date isn’t dried out, it’s plump and moist with a thin skin, long seed and an incredibly intense sweet flavor. I have fond memories of eating dates and spitting the seeds out into humid Florida nights with my crazy old raw food friend Jason. Dates are high in iron, potassium, fiber and a bunch o’ vitamins. They’ve got no fat or cholesterol. YES they are 50 to 70% sugar…but it’s a good, natural sugar. Most dates don’t even have sucrose. If you’re looking for a healthy way to satiate a sugar craving dig on a date! !--break-- read more
Hot oil burns my flesh(this is set to Japanese pop music) and then I deep fry a roll of paper towels!I read cookbooks the way some women read romance novels, but I there are certain recipes that make me feel more like I'm reading a Stephen King novel. They fascinate and thrill me, but when I think about cooking them myself, I get scared. So what am I afraid of? Lobsters attacking!? Sauces curdling!? Anything with live yeast!? Some complicated sounding French recipe, like Gigot d'Agneau la Bretonne!? Yes! I mean, no! I mean Hell No! I am determined to conquer my culinary fears, and cook the very dishes that scare me most. I've always steered away from anything requiring a vat of boiling oil. I love, love, love, fried food, but there's the whole mess... the oil splattering up, disfiguring and blinding me... the fact that fried food tastes best hot or it goes limp... grease on the walls, and the house smelling like a fry-o-later... and of course the next day what to do with a cool vat of oil. But I'm set on overcoming my fears, so tonight I made tempura.
