There's no denying we are fans of YO! Sushi. Whenever we can we will pop along for a plate or three, washed down with a mug of green tea. And if you love YO! Sushi too then now is a good time to visit so you can sample their new menu. This December sees a fantastic line up of 12 new dishes and hidden gems for you to rediscover on YO! Sushi's new look restaurant menu - so why go to Japan for the latest authentic Japanese flavours when you can head to your local YO! Sushi instead?

Congratulations to our DAY 2 ADVENT winner Julie Tift (East Sussex).

You can't beat fresh, homemade soup. But we don't always have the time or the ingredients to hand to make it when we crave it most. And for that reason having a few pots of Tideford Organics soup in the fridge is the perfect answer. With most pots being gluten- wheat- and some dairy-free as well as containing no GM products, they really are a good 'comfort' food to keep to hand - especially as the nights draw in and the temperature plummets.

Congratulations to our DAY 1 ADVENT winners: Joanne Layden (Worksop) - Keira Dempsey (Woking) - Philip Thomas Boyle (Tadworth).
