When a new food service comes to town, it is usual for the first few months to see a crowd of locals checking out the venue, menu and service.

October is the month of chocolate, thanks to the invention of Chocolate Week (Kate Johns we are for ever in your debt). And this October we felt a distinct rise in people wanting to know more about the world of chocolate and what artisan chocolate-making entails.
The Whisky Show is the event of the year for enthusiasts, professionals and trade buyers, bringing together some of the finest whiskies from around the world. But if you are not a keen whisky drinker, or haven't explored the options, then The Whisky Show is also the perfect place to discover some of the finest drams the world has to offer.
It is a long time since a loaf of bread has caused so much excitement here in the Your Source office.

When it comes to chocolate we confess, we love it! This is clearly reflected in our sister site and organised events via Discover Cacao. If we can bring more chocolate to the South East of England then we are certainly on that mission. So we are always happy to review new chocolate that happens to land on our desk. And this lovely selection from Pacari has just arrived.
