Cooking on Gas in Street Food
There are several, perhaps even many problems with cooking on gas. For a start, it tends to catch fire. This is, of course, the idea behind using it in the first place, but it does make people rather wary of the stuff. Not only does it gleefully ignite, it can also...
Leamington Spa Food Festival 2011
Oh frabjous day, what a Wednesday to be alive! As you may have guessed from the title, we have our first confirmed event, and as befits a Beast of Leamington it is the food festival right here in town. The festival itself is on the 10th and 11th of September, so no...
Chicken Something or Other
We have been missing a key ingredient in the Jabberwocky project thus far. I have been keeping you informed on the life and times of the Beast and the many guises in which van-based love can be expressed, but despite all my culinary rambling there has been precious...

Let there be light
It is a curious fact that the wiring within the van is one of the lesser known wonders of the world. Over the last quarter of a century many minds have set to work adding a little something here and there and thus each stamping their mark on the van's beastly frame....
The Process of Being Seen
I have been trying to fool myself for a week or two now. It's time to come clean. So I've sat myself down, made a cup of tea and I plan on telling myself the truth. You see, it turns out that just getting a food van, painting it, getting it seen to by the EHO, naming...
Dear Prospective Host
In this world there is much to be enjoyed, and savoured, and shared with loved ones. The smell of the air after a thunderstorm, the feeling of coming home after a long absence and the taste of a food that delights the soul. A simple joy of life is all we can hope to...
SEO for fun and profit
Search Engine Optimisation, or SEO for short, is the process of making your website come out in front on search terms relevant to it. It was something I had not really considered, as prior to my expedition into the web I had been of the opinion that Google would...
