Just in time for Christmas baking! Matthews Cotswold Flour Launches New Range of Bread Mixes
Because Matthews Cotswold Flour, which is proud to be able to reveal that it is Britain's leading speciality flour producer, is launching a new range of Bread Mixes, ideal for those home bakers who want to enjoy all the benefits of freshly baked bread in half the usual time.
Ancient Cotswold Crunch Bread Mix, Heritage Bibury Barley Bread Mix, Cotswold Malted Rye Bread Mix, Sicilian Italian Pizza Mix, Cotswold Rye & Spelt Bread Mix and Traditional Stoneground Artisan White Bread Mix will be available from early November from www.cotswoldflour.com and select retail outlets (RRP £9.48 for 6 x 500g bags).
Bertie Matthews, the dynamic and youthful MD of the two hundred year old family business, Matthews Cotswold Flour, told us: “During lockdown, thousands of Brits became home bakers for the first time ever.
"Many enjoyed the process of creating their own loaves, from the relaxation of kneading to the fabulous aromas pervading the house, to the delicious and nutritious bakes and the satisfaction of enjoying the end product created by their own hands.
"But with lockdown now a distant memory, most of us are spending less time at home and not everyone has enough hours in the day to bake their own bread from scratch. Our customers told us that whilst they were looking for a shortcut in the process, they didn't want to compromising the end result, and this is the reason why we developed our new range of bread mixes.”
Each of the six new bread mixes comes with full and detailed instructions and contains carefully selected flours, including durum from Italy and ancient and malted grains from the UK, each combined with yeast. All the home baker need do is mix in water and olive oil and leave it to rise, before creating your desired loaf or pizza base. The bread mixes are also perfect for using in bread machines.

A pioneering blend of wholegrain ancient Emmer, Einkorn, Cotswold Spelt & Torrefied Spelt Flakes.
Cotswold Malted Rye Bread Mix
A delicious blend of wholesome Malted Rye with Malted Rye Flakes for a unique flavour.

They're round and they're gorgeous! Anadas Vegan Waggon Wheel Cakes!
You will probably remember when you were a child, munching your way through those wagon wheel biscuits?
Now the very clever and conscientious folks over at Anada Foods in Derbyshire have re-invented the wheel and they are handmaking the most exquisitely gorgeous Round Ups which are vegan friendly!
The Round Up, a plant-based delicious chocolate biscuit sandwiched with marshmallow, a delightfully gooey centre, all rolled and covered in Belgian chocolate.
And they only use a very special type of jam, Mrs Darlington's Jam!
There are Festive Gift boxes, Gift boxes, Let's Celebrate varieties, Black Current Jam, Salted Caramel, Classic Strawberry, King Mint, Orange, etc.
They also produce a range of vegan marshmallows, too.
To learn more or to place orders please visit https://www.anandafoods.co.uk.
We feel they'll make excellent Christmas gifts for the vegans in your life.
Driftwood Spars Brewery. Gluten free beers are available
Although they are a small batch brewery they produce a wide and eclectic range of different beer and ale styles. There are IPAs, Red Ales, Porters, Session Ales, Golden Ales, Pale Ales, Milk Stouts, Cornish Saison, Milds, Blond Beers, Strong Bitters, Pudding Ales, etc.
And they do produce some vegetarian and gluten free beers. Just ask for their advice.
https://www.driftwoodsparsbrewery.com.
And they also have their own pub, The Driftwood Spars in Trevaunance Cove, St Agnes. It is described as: "A rambling, cosy and historic freehouse, it was built in the 1650s using huge beams (or spars) salvaged from local shipwrecks."
Gluten Free Black Puddings From Bury Black Puddings
They are properly made traditionally styled black puddings and very tasty indeed.
They are a renowned source of iron, are under 3% fat content and they are gluten free because the recipe that they are made to calls for the inclusion of rice and potato.
And you can purchase them directly from their own website at www.buryblackpuddings.co.uk, although you should be able to purchase them at your nearest Morrisons supermarket www.morrisons.com to locate your nearest branch.
However, The Bury Black Pudding Company are also mindful of vegetarians and vegans so they are producing some equally tasty but entirely meat free vegan black puddings that are Vegetarian Society Approved.
They are produced to a special recipe consisting of black beans, cereals and carefully selected herbs and spices.
These are also available from their own website and also stocked by Asda, www.asda.com.
