Often better tolerated by those who are intolerant to wheat, Spelt is an ancient form of wheat, which is naturally high in fibre and gentle on the digestive system due to its unique gluten structure. With many health benefits to be gained from eating Spelt we are being urged to include this grain in our diets as it has been proven to help contribute towards a healthy body and in particular a healthy bowel, actively helping to protect against bowel cancer.

In the heart of London's Mayfair, The East India Company's flagship store hosts a range of fine luxury foods within categories such as Tea, Chocolate, Coffee, Wines, Jams, Mustard and Biscuits, as well as a range of corporate and occasion based gift boxes, hampers and trunks. We sampled a selection of their dark fine chocolates and discovered their story, regaled through chocolate and inspired by flavours and textures from their voyages.

It was certainly time to put the kettle on when a Giant Valentine Heart Cookie, accompanied by a treatbox of twelve mixed regular cookies appeared on our desk. In the run up to Valentine's Day Cupid has given Millie's famous Giant Cookie a seasonal makeover, with a new heart-shaped version available in a half and half style, with or without an iced message of your choice.

If you are looking for something with a little sparkle to celebrate this Valentine's Day but the usual suspects leave you feeling slightly flat - take a chance on a bottle of Black Label Sparkling Shiraz. With some bottles of fizz being more bubbles than body it is refreshing to find a cork to pop that still has plenty left underneath.
