Four young Bermudians are earning their culinary stripes as part of the Fairmont Southampton’s chef apprentice programme. The group — comprising Sierra Symonds, Devon Nepeir, Quinn White and Jaelen Steede — are plying their craft under sous chef Her...

There’s nothing like a browse through the aisles at People’s Pharmacy to make me realise that Hallowe’en has changed — partly because time has marched on, partly because Hallmark are so bloody good at their jobs and partly because I’m on the other si...

The butcher counter at Supermart was an unlikely career choice for someone without any knowledge of meats. Phillip Lawrence hoped his love of food would help him pass muster when he presented his résumé to the Front Street grocer. He’d been enjoying...

Andy Detzer knew he was facing an uphill battle when he took over Azu Beastro. The restaurant is located far off the beaten path, at the back of the Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo. Adding to his woes, lunchtime diners must pay the Aquarium admission...

This week we filmed a lip sync video for a Family Centre fundraiser and accidentally overdosed Belle on sugary stuff. We chose Maroon 5’s Sugar, partly for the irony and partly because it’s such a good tune. It’s also got the fastest lyrics known to ...

Minor heart attack over at Kids Camp this week as my normally reliable carrot cake recipe just would not work! I had 26 hungry kids playing outside, all looking forward to coming in and tasting the fruits of their labour. The cakes wouldn’t rise prop...

This week, I’m writing from Natural Kids camp. I’m hiding in the kitchen while the lovely Jennifer Soares gives our 26 children a Zumba class. I’m not sure exactly what they’re pretending to be at the moment — there’s a lot of stomping involved. Dino...

Naughty Nana is back and arrived with four huge bars of chocolate for the girls … and so the naughtiness begins. School is officially out for the summer and it’s parties galore. Everywhere I look it’s pizza, popcorn, ice-cream and candy. In an effort...

Just a few weeks until the end of term and I am clinging on for dear life. September started out so well. I was laying out uniforms the night before, diligently supervising homework, packing prize-winning lunches … where did it all go wrong? With ju...
