Fermè Fermentino‍

A simple and natural alternative cheese, which is made with only three ingredients – nuts, water and salt. It’s simple, organic and vegan.  We had it for lunch with a few tomatoes & cucumber and it’s DELICIOUS.

This fermented food nut delicacy is a great way to increase your nut intake. Originating from Italy, Fermè Fermentino is bursting with flavour – We found the texture similar to hummus which makes it really moreish!  It’s great for lunch, and we read that it’s also great mixed into risotto for a creamy alternative to cheese.

Buttermilk‍

Artisan Confectionery launches dairy free and vegan fudge For Christmas 2019!  Tracy McDonnell Goad, director of Buttermilk told us; “We are so pleased to unveil a new range of fudge for people with food intolerance’s so nobody need miss out on a taste of Cornwall.” – and Buttermilks new Vegan Caramel Sea Salt Honeycomb is the tastiest sweet we’ve had in years.

It starts almost fudge like, then the honeycomb is crunchingly good, satisfyingly sticking to your teeth!  "I almost couldn’t eat it fast enough – I certainly don’t have the restraint of Prue Leith (from Bake-Off) when she only has a mouthful – I nearly ate the whole bag in one sitting!" Said our reviewer!The entire Christmas collection is available at www.buttermilk.co.uk and at selected outlets from September.

Geo Watkins’ Mushroom Ketchup

A great addition to a vegan chef’s armoury, particularly in the autumn and gives a nice umami taste to recipes. “I added it to my favourite vegan Shepherds Pie recipe and it really lifted it to new heights!”

“I softened some chopped onions, garlic, thyme & rosemary and then added carrots, parsnips and beetroot. Stir often so it doesn’t catch on the pan, and cook gently for about 10 minutes.  Once I’d added some good quality vegan stock and lentils I put two tablespoons of mushroom ketchup and cooked on a low heat for 30 minutes. Adding mashed potatoes with some softened leeks to the top finishes the dish.  Serve with some green veg and you’ve got a fabulous Autumnal supper!”
