Arroz con Pollo y Chorizo is an amazing paella dish that’s not only easy to prepare (it pretty much cooks itself) but it will have your guests begging for more. Unlike risottos, the Spanish have mastered the skill of cooking rice that shouldn’t be stirred – a relief in Elldrew’s eyes considering we lost a …

Jubilee Jollies
Britain had the dress rehearsal with The Royal Wedding in 2011 so Planet Elldrew are especially looking forward to The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations next weekend. Not just because we get to have 4 days out of the office, but it will be another chance to catch-up with friends and celebrate all things British.
Summer Styling
Planet Elldrew L O V E Gucci (even just to window shop), so you can imagine our excitement when we received a notification of their new men’s Summer ‘vacation essentials’ beach range. Here are a few pics to whet the appetite…happy stylish frolicking in the sun! Reviews about this product/merchandising are personal and have not …
Europe’s Vision
No Elldrew have not turned political editors, that’s not our style, but with the turmoil of the Euro continuing to plague the financial world there’s no better way, if only for a night, to celebrate all things Europe then with a song. Yes we’re talking about the Eurovision Song Contest.
Going Out by Scarlett Thomas
I’ve been a fan of Scarlett Thomas since I first read The End of Mr Y, so was rather excited when I came across a new book of hers whilst seeking out a new read. Alas, once I was sitting comfortably in Planet Elldrew and peeled back the cover my excitement faded to disappointment as I …
Tantalising Tapas
As Sunday evening creeps up on you, what better way to charge the batteries for the busy week ahead than with a home made Mediterranean Tapas. Stuffed Focaccia, Prosciutto, Dressed Mozzarella and Celeriac Remoulade – from Jamie Oliver’s 30-minute meals recipe book – we substituted the Focaccia with the left over Ham, Cheese & Chive Bread from last night. Packed with …
A Sunday Roasting
Nothing quite beats a gathering of friends for a Sunday roast at a gastropub, even better when it’s overcast. Pick the right venue and you feel the warmth and charm soak through your veins as you sit back, relax and catch-up over a glass of vino whilst deciding if you want a beef, lamb, pork, …
Saturday Night In, Elldrew Style
They say staying in is the new going out and so after a busy day putting Planet Elldrew in touch with Planet Earth we thought we deserved a delicious home cooked meal. Plus it was a chance to try a couple of Lorraine Pascale recipes we’ve been itching to sample and a good excuse to …
Ring Me
So we’ve decided we have to not fall into the category of blogging everything and anything just because we can…that’s what Facebook is for isn’t it? However, whilst looking through some camera photos we came across this little beauty, the B.zero1 from Bulgari. Such a classic ring oozing style and sophistication that would complement any …
Lock up your Condiments
We know you’re guilty too, don’t try and hide it. Sitting at a table having a conversation with the person opposite, or just in your head, eye’s darting around the room to see if anyone is watching. “Do you think I should take this?”. Eyeing the array of free condiments sitting in front of you…tempting …
