Canelés are a traditional sweet delicacy from the Bordeaux region of France; delightful little 'cakes' that have a caramelised crust and a soft custard-like centre. And Babelle is a London based company which specialises in the production of canelés, and whose stand at the BBC Good Food Show certainly put on an impressive display of these sweet treats.
We love the clean taste of Warner Edwards Gins, so were doubly excited to see their new Rhubarb Edition at last weeks Spirit of Christmas Fair. Pretty in pink and full on in flavour, we found it exceptionally drinkable, and just right for Christmas as a present for others - or a treat to yourself.
Mara's unique range of delicious seaweed seasonings are designed to "make your food taste better, makes you feel better" by using it as a healthy sea salt alternative and a natural flavour enhancer. This seaweed seasoning make a unique Christmas present for the lover of Scottish produce - and are a far healthier option than whisky. But do they taste as good?
The days of mixing an overly sweet, processed hot chocolate powder into boiling milk are long gone when it comes to wanting a cup of hot chocolate. And now there is a strong uprising in the number of companies making real chocolate available for us all to make at home. This week we taste tested the Hans Sloane range of luxury hot chocolate.
We have probably all seen the adverts - or had a 'Philadelphia' moment at some point during conversation - but now, to turn the heat up a little on their cheesy creations, Philadelphia is bringing something new to the table this autumn with the launch of Duo Cremoso; a truly delicious cheese experience.
Anno Distillers is an artisan spirits producer located in Kent, which first hit the stores in October last year. We originally met the company at the Spirit of Christmas Fair 2013, where they were making an impression with their flagship multi-award winning gin. So it was a pleasure to see this young company evolving further and still producing at this year's event, with three other bottle variations on offer.
