Olive Hill Farm Sausages, from Scan Foods UK, are made using Red Tractor approved, fresh lean British pork shoulder. The revolutionary production process, owned and patented by Greek company Creta Farms, reduces the saturated fat content by at least 30% but retains the great taste and juicy texture that is lost in some 'lower fat' sausages on the market. What's more, because they contain less saturated fat and water, these sausages don't shrink during the cooking process - amazingly they retain more than 96% of their original weight. Try these recipes to cook up a delicious Mediterranean feast.

You can't beat a great British sausage, served with a pile of mashed potatoes and gorgeous gravy, But with sausages containing high amounts of fat it may be time to look for a leaner alternative. Containing at least 30% less saturated fat than other premium pork sausages, Olive Hill Farm have managed to make great sausages that still contain 80% British pork. This is due to a unique, award winning process which replaces the saturated fat with the finest extra virgin olive oil.

Earlier this year Hodmedod introduced us to the humble but versatile Fava bean - and we thoroughly enjoyed our baking experience, making some Moroccan Bessara, a spicy little dip that also doubled as a soup. Well now we are back with Hodmedod's Kabuki beans and by following the recipes supplied in one of the handy little books that come with every packet, we made their Wasabi & Pea dip and Pea & Ham soup.

Chedds has created some fun and playful recipes, perfect for little hands to get involved. The recipes are a bright addition to any family table, kid's party or lunchbox and include the classic Shepherds Pie with Shapes scattered like jewels, mini burger slides with oozing cheesy centres as well as 'mouse' Muffins, Mac-n-Cheese 'rabbits' and a Juggling Clown Quesadilla.

As the start of the summer term approaches, Chedds has one thing sorted - lunchtime ideas! Adding to the happy family, Chedds, the kid's cheese snacking range from Cathedral City, launches two new products to help mums keep meal and snack times fun and exciting. Welcomed into the family this month are Shapes and Towers, with all the smooth flavour of 100% real Mild Cathedral City Cheddar that mums know and trust, in two new formats that kids will adore.
