Waitrose Cherry Bakewell Scones

Put down your fruity, cheesey or plain scones because things have just got interesting. Waitrose Cherry Bakewell Scones have sneaked onto the shelves, almost as silent as the Heston’s Cherry Bakewell Hot Cross Buns they did back in Easter, but there is no hiding them from me.  The very fact the quintessentially British afternoon tea staple has been given a cherry bakewell make over is both daring yet genius. For those longstanding blog readers (you’re amazing thank you!) you will recall I raved about the Cherry Bakewell Hot Cross Buns and I am hoping these scones are on par.  For 4…

Ninas Super Fit Popcorn

Hands up if you like popcorn! It’s been popcorn galore on the blog recently and seems to be very much the in thing at the moment, which I really don’t mind. Today’s review isn’t just your average popcorn, oh no, today is the turn of the Ninas Super Fit Popcorn. A little while back I was asked by the lovely Rhiana if I wanted to give a brand new brand of popcorn a whirl, and what made this different to all the rest is these are a range of naturally nutritious superfood popcorn. I am indeed a curious bean as to how…

Pinch of This Gluten Free Gastronomy

Pinch of This certainly caught my eye at the Sandown Food Festival and is not a company I have come across before. So who are they? Well Mark & Lucieanne are from Surbiton and are offering us exceptionally delicious gluten free treats in the form of brownies, flapjacks, cookies, cupcakes, quiches and French macarons, that taste as good as regular baked goods.  Gluten free gets a bit of a bad rep for producing brick like, heavy foods and usually pretty obvious that it is gluten free. However the ethos of Pinch of This is if it tastes gluten free then it…

Reese’s Stuffed with Pieces

It’s National Chocolate Week, could there be any greater excuse to eat chocolate, I think not, so it’s only right we have a chocolatey post! We already have Reese’s Dark, White, Miniature, Big, Giant and Crunchy to name a few. So how could you possibly add to the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Family? Erm enter Reese’s Stuffed with Pieces, huzzah! Being a lover of both Reese’s Cups and Reese’s Pieces this is somewhat a heavenly combination of infusing the two together. I really do have to question why this mashup has taken so long, it just seems such an obvious thing to do. Although…

Dorset Cereals Gingerbread Porridge

I could not believe my peepers when I spotted Grocery Gems tweet about Dorset Cereals Gingerbread Porridge, how did I not know this existed?! I suppose the saving grace is I do now and I have it in my possession.  I do love gingerbread, surprising given I don’t exactly like ginger, anyway when I saw this I must confess I contemplated an Ocado shop I was that desperate to try it. However through the air of reason I decided to check my local Waitrose and low and behold there it was sitting on the shelf all lonesome and waiting for me, obviously.…
