Is it better to eat local fresh fruit and veg that isn't organic or fresh fruit and veg flown in from other countries that is organic?
Answer from

This isn't an answer, unfortunately, but a further question: What about 'free trade' fruit and veg in all this? Do the food miles justify them?

My husband and I are moving out of our house for renovations and while doing so trying to edit the clutter. We are having a tussle over a special device that apparently shaves a Tete de Moine cheese. He found this strange scraper in the charity shop 10 years ago and it has never been used though he is now insisting we head for the nearest cheese shop to buy a Tete de Moine. Should we keep it or is it one of those bits of equipment that will gather dust?

Calling all chefs, cooks and amateur designers. This is not strictly a food question, more a kitchen conundrum. We are about to update our kitchen. We have had many wildly varied quotes - do you believe it's worth spending money on a kitchen and is there anything you can suggest that we should factor into our plan?
