During the November Shotengai pan-Asian Street Market in London, we met Shay and sampled her Nutty Belly Gal collection of nut butters. We were so impressed we bought some full jars to review.

Nutty Belly Gal is a London-based craft peanut butter brand which creates bold, often Asian-inspired flavours. Hi-oleic peanuts are toasted and churned with quality, all natural ingredients.

Whilst on holiday in Tavistock recently, we were introduced to Bacchus and Hops, a company on a mission to find premium alcohol-free drinks that didn’t compromise on quality or experience.

This week it is National Baking Week, which just happens to be running concurrently with UK Chocolate Week 2025. From Monday 13th to Sunday 19th October the UK is celebrating all things sweet.

It is safe to say that a chocolate obsession can become a real problem. But this month we are definitely hooked on these bars of Peruvian Dark Chocolate with Raspberry.

Our latest little addiction comes in the form of these gluten-free cracked black pepper crackers from Nairn's. Plant-based and high fibre, these wholegrain oat crackers pack a punch of pepper worthy of any topping.
