When a couple of packets of Perk!er Flakes landed on my desk I was very excited to see this inspiring company's latest offerings; having discovered their deliciously Fruity Berry Porridge earlier this year. On offer today is a box of Perk!er Red Berry Flakes and Perk!er Fruity Flakes. Both are free-from gluten, wheat and milk - and with an average 340kcal per 100g they are not exactly breaking the daily calorie counting bank.
Occasionally sweet snacks just don't hit the spot and salted peanuts and crisps are the wrong kind of savoury, especially if you have to watch your gluten and dairy intake but thanks to Oloves we can now enjoy a perfect portion of olives when we are out and about. In handy snack size packs, containing only 50 calories, Oloves makes it easy to choose a healthy snack on the go.
If you love cheese then the hardest thing about going dairy-free is giving it up... So when we discovered MozzaRisella on the Venice Bakery pizzas at the London Allergy & Free From Show this year, we had to investigate further.
It all began four hundred years ago, when East India Company ships journeyed back home across bright seas laden with culinary treasures to revolutionise our tastes and grace Christmas tables with the flavours of faraway lands. Rich spices and indulgent sweetness combined to introduce British palates to epicurean influences that were destined to change our tastes forever.
Centuries ago, The East India Company (EIC) began to transform our nation's tastes. Ships and explorers returned from distant lands carrying foreign flavours that brought vibrancy and colour to the nation's dining tables, changing our palates forever. Chocolate, spices, and even tea, once new and extraordinary luxuries, soon became an indispensable part of our lives. Last week we made our own journey of discovery and paid a visit to the East India Company's flagship store in Conduit Street, London.
