When Charlotte Clarkson decided to send us a sample of last year's 2* winning rare Breed Chorizo little did she know that we have a chorizo lover on our team, who is absolutely passionate about the sausage. So with this is mind we peeled back the skin, thickly sliced the chorizo and waited for his reaction to this exciting new sample.
We were delighted to be invited down to the Honeybuns Bakery in Dorset to meet Emma Goss-Custard and the Honeybuns Team, for a weekend of 'glamping' in the newly-restored Ark; a cedar covered vintage caravan that Emma, Matt and The Team have lovingly repaired. Coupled with the opportunity to try the delicious menu on offer at The Bee Shack and to be able to get a first-hand look at the production line that produces the most amazing gluten-free cakes, we could hardly wait to begin our journey down to Dorset.
Finally the summer sun has arrived and us girls (and guys) can't wait to get our feet out of stuffy shoes and boots and revel in the freedom of open-toed sandals. An array of peek-a-boo styles are simply begging to be worn and we are on our way in the style stakes... until we realise that while we may be ready for the Summer, our feet are not. But with a selection of simple to use, easy to apply solutions Lloyds Pharmacy will help you get your feet summer-ready in no time.
Dorset Cereals Granolas have just been given a brand-new look. The four handsome varieties look fresh and bright and include two new amazing recipes, Oat Granola and Berry Granola, alongside the recipes consumers already know and love - Honey and Chocolate Granolas. Dorset Cereals love Granola - all that loose and tumbly oatiness, and they believe that theirs is the best-tasting granola there is, so we taste tested the new flavours to see if we agree.
The opening of the latest Giggling Squid restaurant brings sensational Thai cuisine to the High Street in Reigate - and not a moment before time. If any town is ready for a change of food direction then Reigate, with its limited choice and dated menus, is the place to welcome this revelation in dining out.
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.
