Marco Pierre White in my kitchen - 3 in 1 Hand blender +

Advantages: One gadget does so much - blends, mixes, chops, easy to store and light
Disadvantages: lead too short, have to hold the button in all the time you are using it,

...Russell Hobbs Marco Pierre White 3-in-1 Hand Blender 14334 with Balloon Whisk and Chopping Bowl I was lucky enough to have enough points on one of my survey sites to be able to get this for nothing but it is on Amazon for about £35 I notice. I had given my big food processor to my daughter when she moved out as I never used it. I kept a little hand mixer and a blender. The blender died so I replaced it with a cheap one from Tesco which was total rubbish so after the third replacement I asked for my money back. Now I only had a hand mixer which wasn't that useful for soups hence looking for something small that would do the job. I saw this and thought it would be perfect as it would fit in a drawer ( most of it) and would do all I wanted I thought and best of all it was for nothing except points earned from surveys. I certainly was...

..., with an attractive frontage, in the centre of town. Reservations a few days in advance are essential for the evening sitting, the bar is open till 12 and you won't be hurried out of your seat to make way for the next sitting.

Review of Pierre Victoire (Derby)

He's a pussycat really .........................

Advantages: exciting, action packed, funny and intresting
Disadvantages: none!

...Earlier this year after watching Hells Kitchen religiously I enquired at my local library to see if Marco Pierre White had written an autobiography, a few weeks later they had got me a copy from another branch so the read began. The first few chapters took me a while as I don't get much time to read but when we went on holiday I was able to really get into it and couldn't put it down! The book starts with Marco writing about his childhood in Leeds and his family. He lived with mum, dad and three brothers, his mother was Italian which is where his name comes. Tragically she died suddenly when he was very young (i think six years old) and he speaks about the impact this had on his life and future relationships. He says in the preface that writing the book was a journey in itself for him and that it helped to make sense of some...

Review of White Slave: The Autobiography - Marco Pierre White

French But Not Fancy

Advantages: Good food at very reasonable prices.
Disadvantages: I don't think there is a no smoking area.

...In Oxford’s Little Clarendon St., three French brasseries sit in a row creating a little French quarter in one of Oxford’s liveliest streets. Michel’s Brasserie and Café Rouge flank Pierre Victoire on either side which, at lunchtime anyway, is by far the most popular for reasons which will soon become apparent. Pierre Victoire is a chain of French restaurants which you may have heard of. Pierre is the name of the French trained chef Pierre Levicky and Victoire comes from the name of the street in Edinburgh (Victoria St.) where he opened his first restaurant. Pierre’s aim was to offer excellent freshly prepared food at very reasonable prices similar to those you find in France with set price menus. This concept was an immediate hit and after opening a few more in the area the idea was franchised. It grew too...

Set Fair For the Ryder Cup Team

Advantages: Steady consistent player
Disadvantages: No representative experience

...It presents something of a dilemma for Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance that Pierre Fulke seems likely to be the first golfer to qualify for this years Ryder Cup team. Fulke heads the Ryder Cup points table and has double the number of points as the man in the 10th qualifying spot, fellow Swede Mathias Gronberg.Fulke has been a professional for over 10 years now but has few Tour wins to his credit. He owes his position at the top of the Ryder Cup table to his consistency in finishes and he is of course totally committed to the European Tour. This commitment has 2 benefits in that he is not distracted by playing the US tour and of course he can pick up form and prize money when other stars are away.Fulke follows a number of trail blazing Swedish golfers who began with the likes of Anders Forsbrand who almost became the first Swedish...

Review of Pierre Fulke

Make-up in the mail

Advantages: Quality good delivered to your door
Disadvantages: Temptation!

...The Laboratoires Dr. Pierre Ricaud is a mail order company dealing in efficient and safe anti-age beauty treatments and make-up. It has been in existence for some nineteen years and the products are sold all over Europe (France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Spain and Great Britain) and also USA and Russia. The Head Office (Discovery Centre) being on Champs-Elysées in Paris although the order address on the envelope for this country is Farnham. Orders can be made by post, telephone or internet. I have been a customer for several years now and have always found the products to be excellent and of superior quality to many that can be found in High Street stores. I would also say that I have always been rather fussy about make-up and skin products, tending to buy the most expensive in order to get good quality. Since...

Bon Vacances at Port Bourgenay

Advantages: Masses to do, something for everyone.
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit pricey in high season

...beyond our budget if it wasn't for the Clubcard vouchers that are worth four times their face value, but after much debate and research we plumped for Port Bourgenay, run by Pierre et Vacances, as it looked like it was in a perfect location, is close to the beach, and there seemed to be a lot to do. It cost somewhere in the region of £1000 for the accommodation (£250 in deals) for seven nights and £300 for the return ferry. ~*~ Location ~*~ We live in the south west, so a Portsmouth - Cherbourg crossing is ideal for us. We always get the earliest ferry (around 9am) so we arrive in France around 3pm which gives us plenty of time to drive to our accommodation and settle in by bed time. Or so I thought! This really wasn't the easiest place to find at all. We knew the main towns that we had to head towards: Rennes, Nantes, La...

Review of Pierre & Vacances Port-Bourgenay, Talmont

French Fantastic

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Pierre Victoire's is situated in the Cavern Quarter although it's a little hard to find as it is tucked down a side street. The restaurant is accessed from a single doorway leading to a flight of stairs which take you up to the bar area. The décor is rustic and maybe just a little too dark but generally produces that nice intimate setting that is ideal for those romantic occasions. If you're a wine lover then you will feel right at home here. This place has an envious selection that should cater for all. The food here lives up to the high standard usually associated with Pierre Victoire. The choice and variety of dishes is impressive and the service is prompt and polite. Pierre Victoire's regularly feature special offers throughout the month such as lunch and a wine tasting etc. These are well worth a look in as they generally...

Review of Pierre Victoire

Booker Winner 2003

Advantages: a refreshing Booker Winner, a very modern novel, intriguing characters
Disadvantages: can be read to be a negative portrayal of America

...'Vernon God Little' was written by DBC (Dirty But Clean) Pierre, and won him the 2003 Booker Prize. The fact that Pierre won this year was somewhat of a shock, as there was a huge amount of media attention placed on some of the other novelsists shortlisted in this year, for example Monica Ali. However, as time went on in the run up to the prize Pierre himself began to receive more media interest, as it was learnt that he owed thousands of pounds to debtors and friends, he had even once sold his friend's house to someone else without telling him! This of course was media gold, and Pierre received a huge amount of attention. When he did win the prize, there was of course immediately debate over whether Pierre deserved to win; whether he was the type of person who should be shown to win the prize, and whether the judges had taken pity...

Review of Vernon God Little - DBC Pierre

The Runaway Bribe

Advantages: Pierre is wonderful, many funny one-liners
Disadvantages: Plot was rather pathetic, dissapointing ending.

...I’m definitely not a rolling-on-the-floor laughing kind of guy. But, Vernon God Little, I must admit did have me on the floor laughing. DBC Pierre’s witty writing and one-liners were both so true and amusing. Within a couple of pages I got hooked on Vernon’s story, and I carried on reading. So, what was the story that put me off, then? Well, Vernon Little lives in a little town called Martirio in Texas. It’s not a very popular town, but when Vernon’s friend Jesus shoots 17 of his fellow students, the town is swarming with the media. Then, the finger points to Vernon Little. As the police begin to investigate the crime, they are lead to believe that Vernon Little is, in actual fact, the murderer of the 17 students and his friend Jesus. So, what do you do when you are accused of a murder you didn’t...
