Christmas dinner is all sorted and planned, but what about all those buffets that you put on when the family comes to visit. The cold turkey is usually a mainstay of the table, but what about if you eat out at Christmas, and so don’t cook a turkey.

Christmas comes to MPW in The Cube
Christmas came a little early to Birmingham’s iconic Cube building, when Marco Pierre White’s popular restaurant hosted a ‘White Christmas’ tasting event, treating bloggers and food writers to a glamorous evening of Champagne, turkey and crackers, as well as what must be the most breathtaking view in Birmingham. The restaurant is getting ready to launch its festive set menu, which will be available to parties of 10 or more people. In addition, this was an opportunity to showcase the private dining suite, which, with glass on three sides of the room, offers those exquisite views that MPW is quite rightly famous for.

Blue Mango – a fantastic food destination in Birmingham

We were given time to peruse the menus, and order drinks. Pete (my husband)…

It is so easy to eat a healthy meal and do everything right, and then find yourself feeling peckish and snacking on something totally wrong, undoing all your good work. Sweets, crisps and biscuits are all temptation when you are trying to be good. And don’t even get me started on chocolate. But thankfully, a tasty alternative may be on hand. Natural Balance Foods have a whole selection of tasty, but healthy treats on offer, with their Nakd bars giving the appearance of a chocolate bar – thereby feeling your brain into thinking…
