Tesco shoppers called to help raise vital funds in charity’s fight against food allergies

Shoppers at Tesco are being asked to help an ongoing in-store and online allergy awareness and fundraising campaign to support medical research into food allergies.

For the fourth year running, Tesco is working with The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation by donating 10p from every Tesco own brand Free From product customers purchase in stores and online throughout the week. More than £270,000 has been raised for the Foundation since the start of the partnership in 2020.

All money raised through generous customer donations will help Natasha’s Foundation continue its research into reducing the risks of food allergies and raise awareness around ingredient labelling.

Natasha’s Foundation was founded in 2019 by Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse OBE, following the tragic loss of their daughter Natasha, who had a fatal allergic reaction to a baguette that contained sesame seeds not listed on the packaging.

Tanya Ednan-Laperouse OBE, said: “We’re thrilled that Tesco is supporting us for the fourth year running, helping us raise essential funds to deliver our mission to #MakeAllergyHistory and better the lives of up to 3 million people in the UK living with food allergies."

Oonagh Turnbull, Head of Health Campaigns at Tesco, said: “Tesco was the first UK supermarket to develop a Free From range to help customers with food allergies, or other special dietary needs to enjoy the food they want to eat. Since its launch in 2003, our own brand Free From range has grown to 176 products across all categories, many of which are award-winning. We are delighted to continue to support Tanya and Nadim, and the Foundation’s crucial and potentially life-saving research.”

Tesco is an eight-time winner of the Retailer of the Year title at the annual Free From Food Awards.

Better bread for less dough as Tesco revamps its in-store bakery range

Shoppers looking for fresh, tasty bread are to be offered a fresher bakery experience at Tesco, with the introduction of new highest quality, limited-edition speciality bread and sweet products, available for less than the premium prices often found at trendy artisan bakeries.

The major move has seen the supermarket re-design its in-store bakery options launching nearly 30 new lines, including six limited-edition products.

As part of the revamp, which will roll out to all Tesco bakeries this month, the supermarket will also include nutritional information on packaging, such as calorie content and daily recommended allowances.

Said Tesco Lead Bakery Product Development Manager, Sarah Donovan: “Times are changing in the baking world, and we’re seeing the emergence of an adventurous new type of shopper who is very eager to try more premium artisan varieties of bread and sweet treats.

“But we don’t believe shoppers should have to pay higher prices for artisan bakery items, which is why we’ve launched a new range of great quality products baked daily in store.”

Among new artisan bread lines being introduced are:

Tesco Finest Cheddar Boule – 400g - £2.25. Fermented for 12 hours and bursting with indulgent, melted pockets of Vintage and West Country Cheddar and Red Leicester cheeses. Stonebaked for a deep crust.

Tesco Finest Halkidiki and Kalamata Olive Batard 400g - £2.25. Made with a blend of Greek olives – black olives from the southern Ionian area of Kalamata and green olives from the northern Halkidiki peninsula to give a full and rounded flavour.

Tesco Finest Limited Edition Rosemary and Sea Salt Focaccia – 250g - £2.25. Crafted with a long fermented Italian style Biga dough, made and hand topped with Italian extra virgin olive oil, Anglesey sea salt and rosemary. 

Added Sarah Donovan: “Instead of seeing bread as just something to toast in the morning or make a sandwich with, more people are beginning to appreciate it as a food to savour and one that can have many different flavours and complex tastes.

“This has resulted in a major boom for speciality bread with sales of focaccia, ciabatta and Mediterranean varieties all selling really well.” 

New sweet lines include:

Tesco Finest 2 Victoria Sponge Muffins – £1.75.  Made with a light and fluffy vanilla sponge the muffins are filled with strawberry jam and topped with strawberry pieces with buttercream enriched with clotted cream.

Tesco Finest 2 Sicilian Lemon Meringue Pastries - £1.90. A new twist on the classic lemon meringue pie. These Danish pastries are made up of 24 layers of delicious flaky pastry with a zingy Sicilian lemon favoured filling and finished with crunchy meringue pieces and a drizzle of icing.

Tesco has dropped the price of bread and butter across its stores and online as part of its commitment to provide value for customers during the cost-of-living crisis. The move has included reducing the price of the supermarket’s most popular bread, the Tesco Toastie white bread, from 85p to 75p.

Vimto Jam? Yes! Vimto Jam!

On my recent trip to Home Bargains The main purpose of the mission? I was actually buying some nuts for out parrot I bought a couple of very decent ales, some coffee (good quality coffee at a very reasonable price) and my eye fell upon some Vimto Jam.

Yes, Vimto jam. Which I had not even realised was a thing. 

Actually, it's not called Vimto jam it's official title is Vimto Fruit Spread.

It's described as "a seedless Vimto flavour mixed fruit jam with raspberries, black currants and grapes."

And "Made with our secret recipe."

It's produced in the UK by Somerset Cuisine Ltd of Highbridge in Somerset, manufactured under licence from the owners of Vimto, Nichols PLC who are based in Newton-le-Willows in Merseyside.

So, what does it taste like? Absolute perfection! It's Vimto flavoured and it is truly delicious on hot buttered toast, on jam sandwiches, on bagels, on scones (especially with clotted cream!) and is really spiffing if you spread it on a Victoria sponge cake, etc. 

It's available in 200g jars from most supermarkets, plus Home Bargains, B&M, etc.

https://www.vimto.co.uk/vimto-range/product/vimto-fruit-spread.

I have just noticed that B&M Bargains also sells Vimto jellies! Another great British idea! 

Sensational Summer Cocktails from Hattiers Rum

This summer why not just sit back, relax and enjoy the sunshine (or clouds?) while sipping on a refreshing Hattiers Rum cocktail?

They are certain to put you in a sunny mood, no matter what the weather, Hattiers Rum's Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is the essence of summer and quite simply delightful in cocktails at summer garden parties and picnics, savoured on a balmy summer's evening over ice, or enjoying neat at the poolside. Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is available from hattiers.com, £37.50, 42% ABV, 70cl.

It's the UK's first B Corp certified rum, Hattiers has a fresh take on the traditional art of rum blending with an uncompromising approach to quality and sustainability.  Sourcing fine aged rums from over 25 distilleries around the world, their versatile and accessible blends consist of carefully selected rums married together along with pure Dartmoor water at their Devon blending house and distillery.

With light and attractive soft fruit notes and a vanilla pod, creamy fudge and ripe pineapple aroma, Hattiers' Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is the quintessence of summer.  Crafted using cask rums from Barbados, Australia, Trinidad and Jamaica, this smooth, dry blended aged white rum has a great depth of flavour and character.  With a fruity but not sweet taste, it enjoys a gentle nutty pineapple aftertaste and long cream finish and is perfect enjoyed either neat, with a mixer or to create beautiful summer cocktails such as a Daiquiri and Mojito.

Here are two of Hattiers' favourite summertime cocktails using their delicious Eminence Blended Aged White Rum, which are simple to create at home.

Hattiers Rum - Classic Rum Daiquiri

When it comes to cocktails, Hattiers value tradition and simplicity of the art above all else. That's why they stick to a classic daiquiri recipe using their premium blended aged white rum and just two other ingredients. However, if you wish to add some strawberries, pineapple or even passion fruit to the mix, they won't hold it against you.

What you'll need...

60ml. Hattiers Eminence Blended Aged White Rum

30 ml. Lime juice

15 ml. Sugar syrup

1 lime wedge for garnish

What to do...

Add all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker

Shake vigorously

Strain into a pre-chilled coupe glass

Garnish with the wedge of lime

Hattiers Rum - The Eminence Julep

Rum cocktails don't come much more refreshing than The Eminence Julep.  A Mint Julep is traditionally a bourbon cocktail best known for being the signature drink of the Kentucky Derby, but with Hattiers' rum twist, it shouldn't be reserved for just one day of the year!

What you'll need...

60ml Hattiers Eminence Blended Aged White Rum

1 Lime

A large handful of Mint Leaves

½ oz sugar or simple syrup

What to do...

Press a handful of mint leaves in a julep cup or glass with ¼ oz sugar or simple syrup. You don't need to muddle, just press

Add the remaining ¼ oz simple syrup or sugar and 60ml Eminence Blended Aged White Rum

Fill your glass with crushed ice, forming a mound on top

Finish with a lime and mint garnish

The Hattiers Rum range is available at hattiers.com as well as Waitrose & Partners, Harvey Nichols, Master of Malt, Fortnum & Mason, The Whisky Exchange, Enotria & Coe and Drink Finder. 

Hattiers Rum is immensely proud to steadfastly refuse to use any colourants to make their rums appear darker and don't add sugar to their blends.  They believe people should know what they're drinking, and therefore all component rums, countries of origin, age and distillation methods are detailed on the back label of each and every bottle.  Other premium rums in their range include Egremont Premium Reserve Rum and Resolute Navy Strength Rum.

Chur Bro New Zealand IPA

Another of my beer purchases from Home Bargains was a can of Chur Bro New Zealand IPA.

It's from the Off Axis Brew Company and has an alcohol vol of 6.2%.

It's brewed and canned under contract in the UK exclusively for TJM Ltd, the owners of Home Bargains.

It's a delightfully hoppy IPA, which is brewed using the following New Zealand hops: Pacific Jade, Motueka, Raku and Wakatu.

Unlike some heavily hopped IPAs this has a strong level of hoppiness, but it's not overbearing as can be the case with some IPAs, especially those produced by some brewers on the West Coast of the USA.

New Zealand has, over the past decade or so, began to forge a pathway to become a centre of IP excellence, but with a style all of its own.

There's an excellent mouthfeel, an enticing bitterness and a good degree of hop flavours that mean this beer is a great IPA right to the last drop.

I think it's about £1.49 for a 440ml can.

Chefs? This is for you! Enter for Your Chance to Be Part of Culinary History

The Bocuse d'Or UK Academy is issuing an invitation to chefs to compete for the chance to represent the UK in the Bocuse d'Or, the world's most prestigious live cooking competition.

It's the place where top chefs representing 24 countries show-off their talents, skills and creativity, pushing boundaries everywhere with technique and innovation in the hope of winning the most coveted prize in modern cuisine.

Chefs have until Wednesday 14th June to submit their application for the Bocuse d'Or UK Selection which takes place on Monday 10th July at the Gordon Ramsay Academy in Woking, Surrey.

To enter, chefs must hold a British passport and email a CV with a covering letter to Michelle at koyahpr@icloud.com, explaining why they want to represent the UK in the Bocuse d'Or and the skills, experience and attitude they would bring to the team. 

A shortlist of chefs will then be invited to be interviewed by Bocuse d'Or UK President Clare Smyth, Chair Andreas Antona and UK Performance Coach Mike Duckett.

The finalists who are selected to compete in the National Selection cook-off, sponsored by Seafood Scotland, will be offered mentoring from previous candidates to help them prepare. Chefs must also bring a commis chef who is experienced and will be comfortable working alongside them throughout their practises and on the day itself. (Note: The commis must be aged 23 or under by 31st January 2025.)

Founded in 1987 by the late and legendary Paul Bocuse, the Bocuse d'Or has grown to become the greatest culinary spectacle in the entire world.

The most rigorous cooking contest of its kind, the Bocuse d'Or represents the pinnacle of global culinary excellence, dedication, artistry and achievement. For the candidate chosen to lead Team UK - with support, expertise and mentorship from the Bocuse d'Or UK committee, coaches and past candidates - this is an exciting opportunity to represent Britain and secure its position as one of the best in global gastronomy.

The UK has competed in all but one world final with previous finalists including Ian Musgrave of The Ritz London, Tom Phillips of Restaurant Story, Adam Bennett of The Cross at Kenilworth, Simon Hulstone of The Elephant, André Garrett of the Corinthia Hotel, John Williams of The Ritz, Eyck Zimmer of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Clive Fretwell of Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons and Antony Worrall Thompson of The Greyhound.

The theme of the National cook-off is inspired by the 'Feed the Kids' theme at this year's world final and the Bocuse d'Or UK's commitment to supporting The Cancer Platform, from The Cancer Awareness Trust. 

The platform will be an invaluable companion to those impacted by cancer, providing trusted information, help and advice to help strengthen and empower their cancer journey at every stage. Therefore the dishes prepared by the finalists must involve an element of nutritional education.

The finalists will be tasked with cooking six plates using Scottish Salmon (a nutritious and oily fish) with a suitable sauce and three garnishes, using ingredients known to support cancer recovery, from a list including artichoke, beetroot, walnuts, almonds, carrot, broccoli, spinach, kale, cooked tomatoes in their skins, sweet potato, red pepper, beans, seeds and turmeric.

The second part will be the platter as the main dish. Finalists will need to prepare a saddle of South West UK Lamb and lamb sweetbreads from Aubrey Allen with two seasonal garnishes and a suitable sauce. (The salmon, lamb and platters will be provided to all finalists.)

The judges will be looking for precise culinary technique, creativity, complexity where appropriate, and for all the elements of the dish to be balanced and harmonious. They will also  look for chefs who demonstrate an understanding of the unique style of the Bocuse d'Or in a 5 hour 35 minute cook off and who will be able to take the necessary time out of his or her restaurant kitchen to dedicate themselves to training and practicing in order to compete successfully at the World Final. 

Adam Wing, who is the Head of Trade Marketing at Seafood Scotland said: “The premium quality and flavours of Scottish seafood are matched only by the passion and flair of the finest chefs in the UK. We're proud to be continuing our support for Bocuse d'Or UK which this year is featuring Scottish Salmon during the National Selection and we're very much looking forward to supporting the team throughout the 2024-25 cycle.”

The winner of the UK selection will compete in the Bocuse d'Or European heats in Trondheim, Norway from 19th to 20th March 2024 and be given the opportunity to become part of the world's most passionate and talented culinary family. 

With a British chef yet to reach the podium, securing one of the top three places in the European or World final would be a life changing experience and a great PR opportunity for the chefs and their restaurants.
