Dead week spaghetti – It’s a Christmas miracle
No, no one died, dead week being a reference to that terrible time between Christmas and New Year where inevitably you have to go to work, see relatives you don't like or, if you're me, be really sodding ill.

BBV’s Garlic and Brie Soup with “I don’t know why i decided to do this” Flat Bread
Hello again, I hope you have all tried the cocktails but now its time to start feeding those hungry guests of yours. Now usually i would class soup as a starter as a bit of a cop out but its the damn holidays and I don't want to be slaving in the kitchen whilst everyone …
BBV’s Scarlett Miss Charlotte cocktail
Apparently it's Christmas time which everyone knows is about eating good food, drinking good booze and pretending we like our fellow wo/man. Over the next few weeks I will be picking some of my favorite dishes to serve on the grand day itself starting off with one of my favorite cocktails. I first tried this …
