My kitchen favourites

I am often asked which is my favourite plant-based cheese. And I always recommend Honestly Tasty. So delicious! And they look and taste just like dairy cheese. Top of the list for me is their Shamembert (styled like a Camembert) for posh rainy day cheese and tomato toasties. And the Garlic & Herb spread makes a scrumptious canapé base that's always a hit at my supper clubs and party platters.

​

The AirOut food containers honestly dowhat it says on the tin: keeps your food fresher 5x longer. No more food waste means I save money with every food shop. Love that!

​

 The glass makes it easy to see what's inside. They stack beautifully inside each other so take up less space in my cupboard. And you can pop them straight from the freezer into the oven.

 

It really is hassle free food storage.

If you haven’t already gotten yourself a jar (or two) of My Vegan Dulce de Leche you are missing out. It is hands down the most delicious caramel you will ever eat. 

​

You’ll spot the lovely Cintia selling her South American inspired caramel at local Surrey markets on most weekends. Or you can shop for it online for a home delivery.

​

Check my recipe for Nutty Salted Caramel Balls using the, you guessed it, a jar of salted caramel. They're perfect for popping into lunchboxes or as a sweet after-school treat. I’ve also made them for a birthday party, and they were gobbled up in no time.

New Leaf a zero waste grocery refill shop. It's so easy. Just bring your own container and top up pantry essentials like herbs, nuts, seeds and pulses. You can also use your refill bottle to stock up on oat milk.

​

The lovely Maxine and her team run the store. And she always has time for a little catch-up when I pop-in.

​

They also stock toiletries and household cleaning products that are sourced by sustainable UK companies who put the planet first. Love that!

​

Follow on Facebook for new product alerts. And pop into the shop on 3 Prices Lane, Reigate. Remember your refill containers!

Harper and Willow muesli's and granolas have no gluten, no refined sugar, no preservatives, no additives, no nuts, no junk. They're just healthy organically sourced goodness. And so yummy too!

​

Follow them on Insta for delish breakfast recipes. Makes me want granola all day every day!​​

​

We learnt so much tasting four different coffee blends brewed in different ways. The coffee cupping (slurping more like it) at the end was a fun way to pick a favourite.

​

Left with a goodie bag and free bag of our chosen fav coffee. Pretty cool!
