New Bonne Maman Fruit & Chocolate Mousse

Bonne Maman has added another two very indulgent new layered mousses to its chilled desserts range.  Cherry and Chocolate Mousse plus Pear and Chocolate Mousse.

It actually makes reference to a classic French dessert, 'Poire Belle Hélène', the new Pear and Chocolate Mousse is a mouth-watering, multi-layered combination of flavours and textures. 

The creamy vanilla mousse is delicately whisked with generous pieces of juicy pear, then topped with a smooth, rich chocolate sauce.

New Cherry and Chocolate Mousse is a classic flavour fusion of milk chocolate mousse whisked together with delightful and luscious pieces of fresh cherry and then topped with a juicy cherry coulis.

As you'd expect from Bonne Maman, both of these desserts are made with highest quality, all-natural ingredients and, of course, contain no artificial colours or flavourings. 

Presented in packs of two x 95g pots the new mousses are available at Waitrose and Sainsbury's stores nationwide, at £2.20 recommended retail price. 


 

Double blow as 1,000s of families miss out on price cap and £400 energy bill rebate

Chris Harris at Millennium Apartments 
1,000s of British families are facing a double energy bills blow after finding they are not eligible for the £400 rebate, plus not being protected by the price cap, too.

Why is this the case? Households which don't have their own electricity meter and are supplied by a private supply meter won't get the discount.

These households are already facing a bigger than average rise in bills because they are classed as commercial users rather than domestic, so aren't covered by the price cap.

The new issue has been highlighted by bosses at Birmingham-based Ginger Energy, who launched a petition earlier this year calling for the price cap to be more far-reaching after finding that up to half a million UK households were not protected.

Lisa Gregory, a director with Ginger Energy, said: “To say it’s unfair is an understatement. These are the customers who need this rebate the most, yet they're missing out. So they could be paying up to 300% more for their electricity this year.

“The news that as taxpayers, they'll now be contributing to a £400 rebate that other households who are already protected by the price cap receive, will be a bitter pill for them to swallow.

“We are urging the government to review and consider its position regarding private supply electricity consumers, who are missing out on the rebate and are indeed the ones that need the help.”

Chris Harris is one of the residents who are affected. He lives at Millennium Apartments in Newhall Street, Birmingham, where electricity is supplied via a private supply.

Retired Chris, 72, a director of the Millennium Apartments Management Company, said: “Our contract renewed on July 1 and we've seen bills shoot up. My payments have gone from around £145 a month to £220 and we're all braced for another rise later in this year when we renew again.

“We don’t have the protection of the price cap,  so it was very disappointing to find out we aren't eligible for the rebate either.”

He said neighbours in the 70-apartment block were all dismayed and angry at the news and were all fearing a further big rise later this year.

He went on to say: “All residential customers should be treated the same.  Just because we're wired up differently doesn’t mean we should miss out.”

Stephen Knight, who is a director of Heat Trust, the national consumer champion for heat networks, said: “Ginger has rightly identified an injustice facing these energy customers. The government promised every household would get the £400 energy rebate this autumn, but as it stands, those on communal electricity circuits won’t see a penny, as the payment will only be made via domestic electricity suppliers.

“We have called on the government to find a way to get the rebate to this group of residents, who already face the injustice of not being protected by the price cap or having access to the Warm Homes discount scheme.”

Lisa went on to point out that it appeared Ofgem and the government had begun to take notice of the issue, thanks, partially, to Ginger's campaign.

The latest consultation document from the government's Energy Bills Support Scheme states: "The government recognises households without a domestic supply contract do not benefit from the same consumer protections as households with one. Government will work actively to address this at the next opportunity.”

Lisa added: "We don't know what this will entail yet, but they now acknowledge the situation is a situation. It's good that our open letter started it all off because they didn’t recognise it at first."

Greene King launches new programme

Greene King is running “Expensable Lunches” - a new programme offering city workers the ultimate pub lunch break, but which has a very productive twist. 

In partnership with small business support platform, Enterprise Nation, the pub chain is giving central London workers access to a variety of meaningful training modules during their weekday lunch hour, for a lunch break that swaps office desks for pub stools.

The new launch comes as recent changes in ways of working have led to a more flexible approach to office life, but one where the lunchtime pub trip still can, and should, play a part.

The ‘Expensable Lunches’ training sessions will run every Wednesday for five weeks at select central London locations, from Liverpool Street to Victoria, Fitzrovia to Mayfair. At £25 each, tickets include entry to the training session – hosted by an accredited trainer - along with a main course and drink of choice. The menu on offer includes a range of options from Fish and Chips to Vegan Burgers coupled with a cheeky pint or refreshing soft drink.

The 45-minute lunchtime learning modules are designed to encourage city workers to take time away from their desks to acquire new skills, with sessions covering five key topics – creating a social media plan, building your personal brand, mastering the art of public speaking, becoming a better leader, and building a growth mindset. Upon completion of the module and a tasty pub lunch, Zone 1 workers will leave the upskilling session with a formal certificate, as well as a VAT receipt, allowing them to expense lunch back to their employers.

Said Alex Dawson, Business Unit Director at Greene King Urban Pubs: “It goes without saying that the working week is looking a little different these days. With people spending fewer days in the office, lunch times are often rushed with many central London workers opting to eat al desko. 

"We feel it’s important people take a proper lunch break and we’re excited to be offering these meaningful lunchtime workshops in partnership with Enterprise Nation to encourage people to take a break from the workplace. Our Expensable Lunches allow people to learn new skills over a delicious pub lunch, to help them refresh and refuel for an afternoon in the office.”

Emma Jones CBE, founder of Enterprise Nation said: “We’re delighted to be working with Greene King pubs to give Londoners a reason to step away from their desks and take a break from the daily grind. Bringing productive lunch sessions to local pubs in Central London will give city workers and small business owners an opportunity to learn something new that may help their own personal development. 

"In this new post-pandemic world, self-development and training has become more important than ever, and we are thrilled to be able to offer these bite-sized training sessions for anyone looking to spice up their working day."

Those after a guilt-free lunchtime getaway can snap up tickets for the power hour sessions via Eventbrite.

Sessions remaining are:
Wednesday 20th July – The Kings Arms, Bishops Gate
Wednesday 27th July – The Finery, Fitzrovia
Wednesday 3rd August – Rose & Crown, Mayfair

Garden Gourmet reminds us It's National BBQ Week!

Summer's here and the 4th of July (American Independence Day and also, by chance, the start of National BBQ Week, is swiftly approaching, with hosts across the country locking dates in the diaries and planning their spreads. Plus, with 8.8 million Brits set to go meat-free this year (up 22% ) the hosting ‘steaks’ have never been higher.   

But despite new research from plant-based food brand Garden Gourmet which found that 1 in 4 would feel unprepared if they knew a vegetarian was coming to their barbeque, hosts needn't ‘flip out’ as the top veggie & vegan brand is on hand with grill-ready meat free options and delicious recipes guaranteed to wow your guests. 

In fact, when it comes to catering to vegans, vegetarians and flexitarian guests, there are simple vegan solutions perfect for grilling available to hosts which don’t require buying additional products or resulting in miffed guests.  

Available options include Garden Gourmet’s Sensational Burger (226g, RRP £3.00) – the full burger experience in one bite. It has a meat-like texture, juiciness, and a rich, satisfying beefy flavour that will have guests (barbe)queuing at the grill.

Or you can opt for Garden Gourmet’s Sensational Fillet Pieces (160g, RRP £2.75), which are incredibly juicy and also delicious. Deliciously seasoned with tasty Mediterranean herbs perfect for barbequed skewers or side salads in the sun that everyone will enjoy.  

Plus, bring Garden Gourmet’s vegan solutions to life with the delicious recipe suggestions below: 

Garden Gourmet’s research also found it’s easier than ever for crowd-pleasing barbeque hosts to cater for changing UK dietary requirements: 36 per cent of 2,000 carnivores surveyed2 say the amount of plant-based options in supermarkets now makes it easier to provide alternatives for their guests.  

However, the study also revealed Brits remain unsure of how to ensure all their guests are happy, with one in four admitting they would feel unprepared if they knew a vegetarian was coming to their barbeque, whilst one in five would feel ‘stressed or confused’, and 18 per cent say they would have no idea what to serve. 

Laura Mack, Senior Brand Manager, Garden Gourmet, said: “The research shows that when it comes to hosting summer barbeques, hosts can feel unsure about what to serve guests with vegetarian, vegan or flexitarian dietary requirements, but there are many options for meat-free barbeques today that mean you don’t need to compromise on taste, including succulent and delicious vegan burgers, juicy fillet pieces, and sizzling sausages. 

“Garden Gourmet understands that if you’re not familiar with cooking meat-free items, it can seem daunting, but there are easy ways to switch out meat-based products for vegan alternatives that all guests will enjoy. 

“We’d like to think we’re here to making hosting easy, because our range is a one-stop-shop solution for everyone.” 

The study also found, of the 45 per cent who worry about pleasing their veggie or vegan guests, top reasons include not wanting to buy the wrong thing and offend them, and feeling under pressure to provide decent alternatives. Others don’t want to have to clean the barbeque in-between cooking and admit being unsure how to cook plant-based food. 

However, a successful 50 per cent bought vegetarian or vegan substitutes which their guests enjoyed. 

Aside from providing for dietary requirements, other aspects of hosting a barbeque which hosts worry about included not buying enough food, a lack of room inside if it rains, and running out of plates or glasses.  

Alex Head, Founder of Social Pantry and expert caterer and party host, said: “The research suggests more and more people want to be able to cater in a plant based way and accommodate dietary requirements, but that there is still a lot of uncertainty about what this looks like. Luckily, there are some really easy ways to keep everyone happy! 

“The huge range of plant based alternatives in supermarkets that replicate the flavour and texture of meat or dairy provide direct swaps, however adopting a more veg focused approach to feeding a crowd has the ability to benefit everyone! 

“I always suggest shifting the emphasis from a centrepiece to side dishes – not only are they delicious and often people’s favourite part of a meal, but having lots of vibrant colourful dishes on the table conveys that sense of generous abundance that makes people feel relaxed about tucking in, and by offering a range of choices, there is bound to be something for everyone. 

“Start with great produce – from beautiful salad leaves to the best bread – and invest in dips, condiments and sauces that can transform the simplest of meals. Sharing food is a fundamental way in which we connect with other people, but separate dietary requirements can create divides within a group. 

“Remember that veg centric food is for everyone – not just vegetarian and vegans – so rather than catering a small amount separately for your plant based guests, make enough for everyone so that you’re all eating the same, with meat/fish as an optional add on. If you focus on making your veg dishes great, everyone will be happy!” 

Garden Gourmet’s vegan burgers, fillet pieces, mince and sausages can be purchased at selected Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons & Asda stores. Find out more at https://www.gardengourmet.co.uk/.

Celebrate July 4th with good food and drink

Yes, July 4th is soon to be here again. So why not join our American friends and family members in helping them celebrate Independence Day with some typical American holiday season foods and drinks?

Why is a UK-based food and drink blog helping to commemorate the day when the Americans beat Britain? Well, why not? It'll be some fun. Besides which, my American-based day job does give all staff July 4th as a company-wide public holiday so it would be rude not to!

One of the greatest dates to BBQ is the 4th of July. This year, instead of the usual burgers and sausages, smoked pork shoulder, or steak, why not fill your grill with a 4th Of July Feast?

Go for succulent beef bites that remind you of burnt ends, (Yum!) perfectly roasted baby potatoes smothered in melted cheese, sweet slices of onion, grilled asparagus wrapped in delicious, salty prosciutto, and finally, some garlicky shrimp will fill the plates and bellies of your friends and family as they feast away the 4th of July.

Ingredients

Beefy Burnt-end Bites:

12

beef short ribs, bone-in, uncut

Your favourite beef BBQ seasoning

Your favourite beef BBQ sauce

Roasted Baby Potatoes + Rotisserie Cheese:

3 lbs.

assorted mini potatoes

¼ cup

melted butter

Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

3 lb. (approx.)

brick of cheese – from deli counter

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus:

2 bunches

fresh asparagus

20 slices

prosciutto


BBQ Blooming Onions:

sweet onions

4 tbsp. olive oil or melted butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Green onion, sriracha, and aioli for garnish

Grilled Shrimp Skewers: 24

jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined 8 

bamboo appetizer skewers

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp. butter, melted

Directions

Start with the beef. It takes the longest. Preheat your grill to 250°F. Remove the bones from the rest of the beef ribs, then slice the meat into bite-sized chunks – leaving in some of the fat. Toss the prepped beef in your favorite beef seasoning. Slow cook the beef in a Napoleon Stainless Steel Topper, using indirect heat, for 2 hours.

PRO TIP 1: Add smoke by using your favourite wood chips to the Napoleon Smoker Tube 

PRO TIP 2: You can always pre-cook these beefy burnt-end bites before the main event and finish them off the next day.

While the beef is slowly cooking, wash and slice the potatoes in half. Toss them with the melted butter, seasoning them to taste with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Once the beef has been on for nearly an hour and a half (90 minutes), turn the heat up to around 350°F place the potatoes onto a prepared baking sheet. Roast them on the grill for about 45 minutes, tossing them every so often, until soft inside and crispy outside. 

Now that the beef and potatoes are cooking, prep the asparagus by rinsing them under cold water, then breaking the stems off about an inch from the bottom. Asparagus’ woody part will naturally break off here. 

Slice the prosciutto in half and wrap the good part of the asparagus. Set aside – in the fridge. 

Blooming onions on the BBQ are easy and fun. Plus, there’s no deep frying needed. Take a sharp knife and cut off the top, and if needed, the bottom of the onion so that it will sit straight. Use a couple of chopsticks to make sure that you don’t cut all the way through the onion. Cut down through the top of the onion like you would cutting it into sixths, but stop when you hit the chopsticks so you don’t slice all of the way through. 

Drizzle with the melted butter, season to taste. Set aside. 

Skewer the shrimp and set aside in the fridge until you are nearly ready to serve. 

Once the beef bites have been on for about 2 hours (120 minutes) and the potatoes have become crispy, you are nearly ready to eat. Turn the burners under the beef up to medium and toss the bites with your favorite BBQ sauce. Remove the potatoes from the baking sheet and put them into a shallow pan. Load the onions onto the grill, and the potatoes, and the asparagus. 

Carefully load the cheese onto the rotisserie spit rod, securing it in place with the rotisserie forks. When you load the cheese, load it so that when the spit is on the grill, the cheese will rotate over top of the potatoes – this may not necessarily be in the middle of the spit rod, but over to one side. Put the cheese-laden rotisserie onto the grill and turn on the motor. Close the lid and allow the cheese to start melting, the onions and the asparagus will cook. 

Finally, when everything looks melty, gooey, crispy, and tender, it is time to preheat the side burner. Grab the shrimp from the fridge, melt the butter and add the garlic. Sear the shrimp over the side burner, brushing thoroughly with the melted butter. 

Serve everything together and enjoy. If you found that you have way too much cheese left, a couple loaves of bread, sliced and placed underneath the dripping cheese is never a bad move.

Need a little helping hand with perfecting the cooking of your pesto pasta? Here are some top tips from Seggiano’s experts. 

Seggiano Perfect Pesto Pasta  

1. When you cook pasta you need plenty of water so that the pasta doesn't get gluey. Use 1.5 litres water per 100g of pasta, and bring to a brisk boil before adding salt (which will slow down the boiling process).

2. Drop the pasta into the briskly boiling water, stir and keep on a low boil for the time indicated, stirring occasionally.

3. Do the al dente test by carefully sampling a piece of pasta. It should be soft enough to bite through, but your teeth should still feel some resistance. Drain over the serving bowl which will warm it through, then empty and add the pasta to the dish.

4. Keep by a spoon or two of the warm cooking water, add this and a dash of good extra-virgin olive oil to the pasta to loosen it up, along with a good dollop of pesto. Stir well and serve onto warm plates. 

5. Ta da! Finish with a heavy grating of parmesan for the perfect pesto pasta.

Mayni Coffee

Mayni Coffee is indigenous, community coffee from the Peruvian Amazon.

It is grown in the shade and is fully washed.

The coffee is grown by the Mayni Indigenous Community of Junin in Peru.

For those who like to know these things it is grown at an elevation of 1650 metres above sea level, or roughly 5413 feet above sea level.

Shade grown. What does that actually mean? It means the Mayni people grown their coffee plants underneath the canopy of the rain forest. They don't employ the slash and burn land clearance technique  of growing coffee, which, unfortunately, is all too often associated with traditional coffee farming.

But the Mayni people don't do that! They make use of ecologically sound and safe techniques within their natural landscape. 

This means that foliage and wildlife are looked after and kept safe whilst the coffee is handpicked in a way to minimise damage to the handsome coffee plants.

So it's clear that it ticks all the boxes regarding how it is grown and harvested, which is very good. But what does it taste like?

Like coffee heaven! According to the tasting notes you will taste "honey, orange, chocolate and almond."

It is absolutely delicious. There's a dichotomy of tastes. At once it is bold and striking, yet it is also, somehow at the same time, mellow and smooth.

I don't know how it can be both, but it is. The only way for you to find out for yourself is to buy some.

It's available through https://www.easyjosecoffee.co.uk/ caffienated or caffeine free, the choice is yours. Our coffee was a combination of Caturra, Geisha & Typica beans. It costs from £9.50.

Proper snacks taste proper good!

The Proper snack company produce snacks that are proper good (that's bad English? I can live with that!).

Several years ago Cassandra decided that she had had enough of the snacks that were then available. They were too salty, too fatty, were filled with nasty ingredients that really had no place in foodstuffs or snacks. Or, if they were being made to be more healthy didn't taste all that good.

So Cassandra decided to start making proper popcorn. Using a repurposed cement mixer. And from that eco-friendly start  (nothing wrong with some recycling and repurposing) things have really progressed for Proper snacks.

Of course you can still buy Proper Popcorn (Caramelised Biscuit, Salted Caramel, Sweet and Salty, Lightly Sea Salted, Sweet, pop at home microwave popcorn, Salted Caramel Popcorn Bars and Hazelnut Praline Popcorn Bars) but there's also a growing range of other Proper snacks for you to enjoy.

There are now Barbecue Lentil Chips, Sweet Sriracha Chilli Lentil Chips, Sour Cream and Chines Lentil Chips and Salt and Vinegar Lentil Chips.

They are vegan friendly, though tasty enough for omnivores to enjoy, too and don't contain a long list of suspicious sounding ingredients that would look more at home in a science laboratory than in a bag of snacks for you and your children.

For example, Proper Lentil Chips contain lentil flour, potato starch, sunflower, rapeseed and coconut oils, corn flour, sugar, rice flour and natural flavourings and spices. 

To learn more about the company, how it's working hard to be the type of company we should do business with (Net Zero by 2030) and its range of snacks you can visit them at www.proper.co.uk.

They are a B Corporation and are hiring staff for a variety of roles.

If you want to stock their products they have a wholesaler here https://musclefinessewholesale.com/brands.html/proper-snacks.html

The People's Captain Latte Latte Love beer

The People's Captain Latte Latte Love beer is an absolutely stunningly good milk stout beer.

Produced with lactose, coffee and cacao nibs, plus water, malt, hops and yeast, it's a very interesting beer style.

Although brewed with coffee and cacao nibs it's only slightly different from a "proper" milk stout, but that slight difference is all it takes to bring Latte Latte Love beer from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

There's the milk stout taste, but the coffee taste floats to the surface (to coin a phrase) and the chocolate taste lingers throughout.

It's not a weak, insipid beer. Full of exciting, bold tastes, but you need to be wary. It's a 5% beer but it doesn't drink like a 5% beer, so do keep that in mind!

It's a product of an absolutely wonderful place the Brewing Positivity Laboratory and it's also a supporter of indigenous communities in the Amazon Rainforest.  

What is the People's Captain? It's a very, very special beer club. How is it different? In their own words: "We're on a mission, to use the social power of craft beer to bring communities together. We believe positive mental health is a vital part of life and we're inviting you to be a part of our journey to have a positive social impact in yours.

So, make it count - grab a beer, have a great conversation - and let's create positive change together."

Your first case of beer will cost under £20. To learn more please visit them at https://peoplescaptain.co.uk/

And they have got together with Tony's Chocolonely to offer milk chocolate and salted caramel milk chocolate both of which go so, so well with Latte Latte Love beer!

Double Dutch Mixers

Joyce and Raissa de Haas
I have learned something new. It's perfectly possible to make a very nice Bloody Mary using gin as the base, but probably only if you use a high quality mixer as part of the recipe, in this instance a Double Dutch readymade Bloody Mary mixer.

Double Dutch was founded by Dutch twins, Joyce and Raissa de Haas in 2015 when they launched their first two mixers, Cucumber & Watermelon and Pomegranate & Basil.

Over the next seven years they developed a range of absolutely stunning and delicious mixers. They are so tasty that you could well be tempted to drink them in their own right, not bothering to use them as mixers! (Ginger ale, for example!)

What mixers are available? Cucumber and Watermelon, Bloody Mary Soda, Cranberry and Ginger, Ginger Ale, Double Lemmon, Ginger Beer, Indian Tonic Water, Skinny Tonic Water, Soda Water, Cucumber Margarita with Chilli Soda and, of course, Cucumber & Watermelon and Pomegranate & Basil.

My wife and I had great fun depleting our stock of alcoholic drinks (Scotch, Welsh, English and Irish Whisky, plus London Dry Gins) when we mixed up so mightily tasty Double Dutch cocktails. Obviously not all at the same time as that would have been messy!

But it was great fun to learn some new recipes including the gin bloody Mary using the Bloody Mary Soda. I'd never considered using anything other than vodka and was pleasantly surprised that it actually tasted pretty darn good!

Where can you buy Double Dutch mixers? Direct from their own shop  https://doubledutchdrinks.com/collections/our-drinks on Amazon and in Waitrose.

Are you a buyer for a large chain of supermarkets, a wine and spirits retailer, etc? Then you need to get in contact with their trade team sales@doubledutchdrinks.com.

Soho House, Dishoom and The Alchemist are venues that treat their customers like Kings and Queens by using Double Dutch tonics. To learn how your venue can up its game contact sales@doubledutchdrinks.com.

You'll find lots of cocktail recipes on their site, so have fun testing them!
