Wow, the Christmas break has flown by. The desire to be rid of 2020 seems to have ushered in 2021 at a frenetic pace. I hope all of you had a restful break and were able to catch your breath and some of the good weather. We are back and working hard to get our shelves stocked. Unfortunately,...

There are two secrets to this recipe; the first is roasting the vegetables long enough to make sure they char a little and the second is to make sure the courgettes are not too thick (otherwise they tend to steam not roast and steamed courgettes are NOT a source of delight). For the...

I wanted to share this photo of our beloved warehouse cat Black for the final newsletter of the year as I think it sums up how many of us have felt about 2020! I wish I could have buried my head (not in a folder mind you) and hidden from the world but that wasn’t an option. We have all had our...
