I realise I have severely neglected this website, but it’s hard to update stuff and come up with new things to write about when you’re trying to do PR for clients while plotting world pickle domination. I was recently asked to provide some thoughts on trends in pastry and a few other things, which got…

Food Trends for 2015
It’s that time of year isn’t it? Some people love and some people hate food trends. Indeed, one journalist has summed it up very succinctly here. Personally, I love them, as whether consumers like it or not, their purchases and behaviour are determined by what a select group tends to come up with in their crystal…
Food Trends for 2014
I realise that I’ve not posted anything on here for a while. Manfood has been taking up a lot of time. While exciting, when mixed in with daily work life and other demands, it has meant that this website has suffered somewhat. However, onwards and upwards. With Christmas fast approaching and the end of year…
Man Food – growing pains.
I’ve not posted in ages, and I realise you have all been pining for my pearls of wisdom. Or not. On this gorgeous Saturday, when I should be out in the garden seeing to my fruit & veg patch that is going wild (mainly with weeds), I am instead, lying on the sofa with a…

IFE is but one of a number of food and drink trade shows that buyers mark into their calendars. It’s a very varied mix of big and small brands, which can be interesting, because you sometimes find some very interesting things. And of course, being every two years, it’s worth a look, even if (like…
The birth of a new food brand: Man Food
I’m not a parent, and it’s highly unlikely I ever will be (though I am a very proud uncle). So I can’t really claim to understand the trials and tribulations of a newborn baby from conception to when it emerges from the womb and takes its first breath. Having said that, lately I’ve been going…
A juicy January
A new year, and once more I tell myself I should make more of an effort at sending weird and wonderful thoughts into cyberspace. But it’s a struggle trying to find time to do so, especially when there’s so many other things on my to do list, and of course the duvet is having a…
Balsamic comes of age.
Balsamic Vinegar has been on the culinary scene for hundreds of years, yet within the UK, it’s popularity really only grew with Elizabeth David, and finally reached fever pitch when Delia Smith took up the cause. Unfortunately, since then, it’s been a bit hit and miss – mainly down to a lack of knowledge from…
The munchies by any other name…
..would still taste as sweet. Following on from my trip to the Washington Summer Fancy Food Show, I have yet to add any new updates since my first post on the subject, so I’m typing this while sat on the naughty step. So what does the above title refer to? A new wave of sweet…
The Summer Fancy Food Show

Between the Winter Show in San Francisco and the Summer Show in New York City, the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade events bring in more than 40,000 attendees from more than 80 countries to see 260,000 innovative…
