WISH LIST

KAREN BARNES, EDITOR

“ These pages are about us doing the hard work so you don’t have to… Joy! We’re sent anything from 40 to 100 new products a month, and we really do try them all: tasting, smelling the aromas, testing gadgets. Only if they’re useful, goodlooking and value for money do they get the delicious. seal of approval.”

FATHER’S DAY GIFT

...or an any-time treat. Andy Swinscoe at the excellent Courtyard Dairy in North Yorkshire has created two boxes of cheese especially for delicious. readers. There’s a blue cheese box (£34.50) and a cheddar box (£31), each with four top-notch cheeses, available from the delicious. shop. Find tasting notes at deliciousmagazine.co.uk/blog.

HEAD FOR THE garden

We’ve had our first dose of sunshine (let’s hope it’s not the last), and I love how the national psyche immediately turns to eating outside. This year sees the launch of garden-friendly tableware so convincing that you have to pick it up to realise it’s not ceramic. I’ve fallen for Lakeland’s Toscana range (see p68 to receive a FREE salad bowl and platter when you take out a delicious. subscription). Also top of my list are these Al Fresco Provence melamine plates from Sous Chef, decorated with watercolours of vegetables. Almost too pretty to cover up… £17.95 for 4,sous-chef.co.uk
