The Good Web Guide’s 2010 awards were announced on Tuesday and we were left dancing around the office when it was announced that Ooh.com had been given a ‘Highly Commended’ award!
Ok, so we didn’t take the Website of the Year award, but we got the next best thing – and given we’re a new site and a small team, we’re pleased as punch.

On 19th of November, Wafflemeister hits Portobello Road and there’s no doubt that the tourist crowds will flock to the funky 50’s rock’n’ roll themed waffle store. We’re wondering if celebrity local Claudia Schiffer will also drop in for a decadent Strawberry Heaven, or will she prefer the Dream Team waffle served with peanut chocolate gelato?
Being, as it is, mushroom season, we’ve got mushrooms on the mind. Not that kind, mind. It’s making us think of the Fungi Forays you can go on in the New Forest with Fungi To Be With. It also inspired us to choose this shot of morning dew and mushrooms in Sussex as our photo of the day. Photo: Mandy Sutton, via: Telegraph
As if their supper club Fernandez and Leluu wasn’t enough, now Uyen Luu is taking on another food venture, teaching Vietnamese cookery classes. Judging by the sample menu, these classes will be very tasty indeed.
The suggested donation for a class is £75 and this includes ingredients, dinner, some glasses of prosecco, tea, take aways and recipes.
Christmas is coming up. You knew that already. Everywhere you look you’re reminded that Santa Claus is soon coming to town and with that, mince pies, winter Pimms and roasted chestnuts will follow. Which is why you should take care of your body before all gluttony and stressful Christmas shopping begin.

Let’s face it, until very recently, Mexican food to the average Brit consisted mostly of some Old El Paso oven tacos, packet seasoning, gloopy long life guacamole – oh and maybe a garnish of grated cathedral city for luck.
We’re not judging, but in truth, those days should now be long behind us. For the Londoners out there yet to discover the delights of fresh, flavoursome, Mehican fayre, there is really no excuse.
Making pizza isn’t the hardest recipe in the book, but it sure is fun. There’s something extremely satisfying about throwing mozzarella, prosciutto slices and olives in an arty pattern (or rustic if that’s your style), to create your very own bespoke pizza. At Absolute Taste’s cooking masterclass last night, that’s exactly what we did.
I should explain that I was invited to Harvey Nichols and the Absolute Taste restaurant (5th Floor) last night for a masterclass in party food. Since the festive season is coming up, it’ll help to know a catering company you can trust, so you don’t end up with sad and unsatisfying canapés leaving guest no choice but to drink to forget.
