Christmas Gift Guide #3 | Food & Drink
Food gifts are always a popular choice, and that is certainly the case in my house!
Here’s a selection of my favourite foodie gifts for this year!
What better way to celebrate Christmas than with some chocolate? Chocolate and Love is an organic and Fairtrade range, consisting of seven different flavours:
Panama 80% 
Dark Rich 71%
Mint 67%
Orange 65%
Coffee 55%
Sea Salt & Caramel 55%
Creamy Dark 55%
Chocolate and Love has more cocoa and less sugar than many bars on the market – even the brand’s lowest cocoa content product is still a sumptuous 55%! Additionally to the high antioxidant levels naturally found in cocoa, each bar has the added health benefit of being gluten free, GMO free and completely natural with no additives and all but two of Chocolate and Love’s products are dairy free, making them ideal for vegans.
These bars are all so delicious… I was lucky enough to have been sent some to sample. Yummy!
Chocolate and Love is available for £3 a bar from Sainsbury’s
Look out for a fabulous competition to win a box featuring all 7 delicious chocolates as part of my blog relaunch on 1st December…!
I love a cheeky Nandos… even though i’m a wimp when it comes to the heat! How about trying out your Nandos cooking skills at home, with this cast iron “sizzler” pan?
Simply place the sizzler pan directly on your hob, add a little oil and cook meat / vegetables of your choice.
The sizzling sound of marinade slathered steak will be sure to make a scene at the dinner table.
English Provender have been making life delicious since 1979. They have a gorgeous range of chutneys and pickles; from the classic Caramelised Red Onion Chutney, to the more adventurous Moroccan Spiced Chutney – there’s something for all sandwiches, and buffet tables here!
When arriving at a party this festive season, why not bring a selection of chutneys with you (along with the obligatory BYOB!)
They have some great recipe ideas on their website, so do make sure you check that out!
