First up i was sent a pot of Thai Taste Red Curry Paste. I usually make my own paste however used this one as a quick tea fix, the paste was punchy and easy tyo use with plenty of flavour. I sweated some onions in a pan then added a few tablespoons along with some chicken and a little coconut milk and simmered for around an hour, serving the finished dish with sticky rice. When ive used pre bought pastes in the past ive had to top up the ginger/garlic/chilli to give a round flavour however this was spot on and made a perfect quick tea.
Next up we have Bottle Green cordial, you can find the brand in all good supermarkets, ive been a fan for ages, their winter spiced cordial which i served with hot water is out of this world, kind of like a none alcoholic mulled wine. I drank buckets of the stuff over Winter.
I was sent a bottle of their new pomegranate cordial to try and it was beautiful, the kind of thing you would imagine drinking at Wimbledon. Its light and super refreshing Whatsmore the brand is doing its bit for charity. The new range, featuring super stylish bottles are actually in support of Breast Cancer, check the web for more details or go buy a bottle and do your bit!
My final and favourite is Fancies cupcakes in Sheffield. I was given a box after a recent visit and they were awesome, big enough to share, their buttercream is unreal, really light and creamy, almost like an Italian meringue. If your in Sheffield check them out, they've got shops all over the city.
