A traditional British tea loaf made with ginger marmalade, spices and chopped walnuts. The sticky glaze keeps the loaf lovely and moist, and adds an extra marmalade zing to the tea loaf. Serve in slices with a high quality spread, such as Clover Seedburst. Perfect for the school or office lunch box, picnics and afternoon tea. Can be frozen in slices, with greaseproof paper in-between each slice. Use any marmalade that you have to hand; grapefruit and traditional Seville orange marmalade is also delicious.

One Direction have been given a special secret weapon for their up-coming sell-out Manchester gigs as the clean-living boys shun booze once again - and demanded TEA instead. The low-maintenance lads - who drank peppermint tea at last month's Brits - have told organisers that the only thing they want in their dressing room is a plentiful supply of tea bags. And to stop the thirsty boys running out, one of Britain's last remaining organic tea blenders Higher Living has created a special tea dispensing device to be placed back stage... only in an emergency.

Competition now closed. Congratulations to our winner, Anna Marikar (Middlesex).

There is a new sweet on the block - and this time parents won't have to worry about their childrens' teeth! Tingz - monstrously tasty treats for kids (and grown-ups) - are the ideal antidote to the mass of sugary sweets we are so used to seeing. Sugar-free and made from natural, sustainably sourced ingredients, tingz actually help reduce plaque and the risk of tooth decay - AND they've even been accredited by the British Dental Health Foundation.
