DELI FILE
In the Deli this month we have sourced some quirky products with the view to make life in the kitchen just that little bit easier.
We have found the perfect funnel for the kitchen. It is flexible, interchangeable and comes in some bright and cherry colours.
For those of you who prefer your apples sliced and diced, we have found the perfect utensil for you…..
The new apple corer in stock is a gem. Just place your apple on the chopping board, position the corer over the top and push down for perfectly cored and segmented apples each time. We think they’re brilliant!!!
KITCHEN FILE
With the preserving season now in full swing, Chef Steve has been busy creating some wonderful chutneys and relishes in t
he kitchen. Try a little something special with some Terra Viva Oatcakes, or Crostini, on your next platter.
In our Gluten Free Range, we can now provide you with cookie dough to take home and bake, along with handcrafted loaves from “LOAF”. Flavours include Banana, Walnut & Poppy Seed and a scrummy Carrot Loaf.
Keep an eye on the deli food counter over the coming weeks as we launch a new take out sandwich bar for those customers who want to grab a bite to eat with their take out coffee.
